Open Nordic U16 Football LIVE - India lose 1-5 to Netherlands - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

20' - SAVED!

A rather tame freekick there by Annisa Chibani and Melodi Chanu does not have any difficulty stopping that. 

19' - YELLOW, ANITA!

A dangerous tackle just outside the box from Anita Kumari and she is booked. First card of the game and a freekick from a very dangerous position for the Dutch girls.

11' - INDIA SCORESSSS!

Wow, what a start to the game. 3 goals within 11 minutes as India find the net now. A good thrown in from the right flank, before a rather lousy pass towards the centre. The Dutch goalkeeper charges down to collect that pass, but fails. Neha finds herself in the right position to take advantage and tap it in.

A goal against the run of play, but the Indians would not complain.

IND 1-2 NED

9' - Netherlands extend the lead!

A shot from the right flank hits the underpost. But, the striker is right in front of an empty goal to net the rebound in. Poor, poor defending this from India.

IND 0-2 NED

4' - NETHERLANDS SCOREEEE!

3 minutes 27 seconds on the clock and the Netherlands have found the net. A beautiful run in from the centre and pass to the right flank, from where the Dutch striker slots it past the near post. No chance for Melodi Chanu.

IND 0-1 NED

1' - Netherlands find the woodwork

It is not even 30 seconds and there comes a massive defensive lapse from the Indians. Netherlands, though, fail to take toll and hit the woodwork. Lucky for India there.

NETHERLANDS STARTING 11

Time for National Anthems

INDIA STARTING 11

Goood Eveningggg!

The Indian girls take on Netherlands in very unfamiliar conditions at the Open Nordic U16. Can they cause an upset? 

Stay tuned!
