Russia beat Indian to become the SAFF U-17 Women's Championship 2023 title holders!

FT: IND 0-2 RUS

88'- Pooja almost scores one for India

Great feet from Pooja as she dribbles through the Russian defence, but can't get the needed power behind the shot.

Too much nerves apparent from the Indian players

Indian players are randomly booting the ball in any direction as a Russian player hound them for the ball.

66' - Khushi collects safely

The first-real shot on target for Russia in the second half, but the Indian goalkeeper averts the danger. Collects it rather calmly.

60' - Good stuff from India

India with constant attacks now, though none have posed any danger to the Russians. They girls in blue are looking to impose themselves, which is a good sign.

48' - Better from India

A much, much better start to the second half this from India. The nerves seem to have settled in as they show some aggression and look to press forward.

HALF TIME!

A forgettable half for the Indians and they will surely love to bury it in their memories. The Russians dominated all facets of the game and India never even came close to challenging them. At this moment, it seems as if the Indian girls will need some sort of a miracle to even threaten the Russians.

Can the half time break provide some inspiration to Heena Khatun and co?

2 minutes added

2 additional minutes added to the first half.

36' - Heena Khatun goes down

Indian captain hit on the face with the ball and she is down on the ground. The physio rushes out to the middle, hopefully nothing too serious for the youngster.
