NEW DELHI: The Indian U-17 World Cup Squad drew 2-2 against Norway’s Stabaek FC U-16 in Norway on June 21, 2016.

The Indian Colts fostered an early goal scoring opportunity in the 16^th minute when Komal tried to capitalize on a Boris cross from the right flank. Komal however failed to test the opposition custodian as his shot flew whiskers wide of the goal.

Right before the half-time whistle, India were handed with a golden opportunity to take the lead but Abhijit Sarkar failed to make the most out of a one versus one scenario with the opposition goalkeeper, after latching onto a Komal through ball, as the half-time scoreline read 0-0.

The Indian colts took the lead in the 53^rd minute when Amarjit Singh converted from the spot after Abhijit was brought down inside the box. The Indian lead however was short-lived as Stabaek equalized two minutes later to restore parity to the scoreline.

In the 81^st minute the Norwegian Club took the lead as they converted from the penalty spot after Nawaz brought down an opponent inside India’s 18 yard box, to make the scoreline read 2-1.

Shortly after the Indian colts equalized their deficit as Boris latched onto an Aniket cross and tapped the ball home to make the scoreline read 2-2. The full-time scoreline read the same as both Teams failed to score the decisive goal in the remaining time.
