Despite dominating possession and the game in general throughout the match, Faroe Islands were able to further worsen India's first Nordic Cup experience by handing them their third defeat in a row. Thomas Dennerby will take some positives from today's match as the performance level was much better than earlier outings.
With two Indian misses, Faroe Islands won the penalty shootout 4-2. Luck wasn't on the young tigresses' side but they will take this tournament as a learning experience.
The focus now shifts to the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup set to be held in India.
