NEW DELHI: Indian U-17 World Cup Team presently on an exposure tour to Russia to play in the Valentin Granatkin Memorial Cup lost lead and match to Estonia U-18 on Saturday (January 14, 2016).

The match was a play-off one for 9^th to 12^th positions. India who led 1-0 at the interval will now have to contest for positions between 13^th to 16^th.

Despite India having more of the ball possession and dominating both the halves, Estonia were smart enough to have the last laugh. India took the lead in the 37^th minute when Joysana’s shot deflected off Pihelgas to roll into his own net.

Estonia pulled it back in the 70^th minute – Sorga dribbling his way into the box and unleashing a left-footer which beat a diving Indian Goalkepeer Dheeraj Singh.

Estonia sealed it in the 87^th minute. Following a long free-kick, Pihelgas won the second ball and blasted it into the net.
