47' - Gangte brought down

HALF TIME!
There goes the whistle and that's the end of a horrific 45 minutes for Nepal. They started off well but as time passed by the Indians grew and grew more comfortable with Boby Singh and Korou Singh finding the net, thanks to two beautiful passes from Vanlalpeka Guite.
It only got worse from there for Nepal as their skipper was shown a red card. They have a mountain to climb with 10 men when we comeback for the second half, while the Indians just need to ensure some sensible play to see the SAFF U17 Men's Trophy home for the fourth time.
IND 2-0 NEP

38 - RED CARD, PRASHANT LAKSAM!
The evening goes from bad to worse for Nepal as their skipper Prashant has been shown a red card. They are down to 10 men and this is not looking good for the three-time runners up.

36' - SAHIL SAVES!
A promising run from Nepal, but Indian goalkeeper Sahil rushes down and cuts it short. That was good from Nepal, but they need to grab these chances to force their way back into this contest.

30' - KOROU SINGH SCOREESSSS!
India extend their lead and this time it is Korou Singh via skipper Vanlalpeka Guite again. A beautiful through ball from the Indian skipper right down the center, leaving Korou one on one with the keeper. The Indian number 7 makes it count.
INDIA IN CRUISE MODE!

29' - GANGTE MISSES!
A stunning run in the left flank from Boby Singh before an equally good cross, but Gangte messes things up in the box. It felt as if he was late to react to that pass and fails to collect it cleanly. Nepal clear it with ease then.
