As it happened:
Full-Time Whistle! India emerges as champions for the fifth time in the SAFF U16 Finals! What a thrilling journey it has been. Let's go Blue Colts!!!
India 2 - 0 Bangladesh
Yaipharemba tries to attempt a shot from outside the box but it goes over the bar.
Five minutes of added time away from lifting the SAFF U-16 trophy for the fifth time.
The third goal was not given as Bharat was interfering the play. Good call from the official.
Bangladesh makes a concerted effort with multiple players attempting shots, but the Indian defense stands firm, nullifying every attempt.
India scores but referee flags it offside. It's offside if it hits the boot of Bharat. But it doesn't. Unfair call.
India gets a corner, but Bangladesh's defense clears it away. The ensuing throw-in doesn't lead to an opportunity, and the game continues with both teams battling for control of this match!
India extends their lead with a stunning goal from Levis Zangminlun! He showcases brilliant individual skill, running through the box, beating the defense, and calmly taking his time to slot that shot home. Bangladesh's defense falters, and India capitalizes beautifully!
India 2 - 0 Bangladesh
