NEW DELHI: The Indian U-17 World Cup Squad lost 3-0 against Germany’s Bayern 04 Leverkusen’s U-16 Team in Germany today (July 07, 2016).

The Indian Colts started the match on an attacking note and in the 4^th minute Boris was released by Amarjit onto goal, but the former ran into defensive traffic as India searched for an early lead.

Two goals in quick succession in the 11^th and the 13^th minute handed Bayern 04 Leverkusen a 2-0 lead going into the tunnel at half-time. However, India had an opportunity to reduce their deficit in the 23^rd minute when Komal’s shot flew whiskers wide of the goal, after bursting clear onto the opposition goal.

The German opposition scored their third goal minutes into the second half and took an unassailable 3-0 lead. India tried to minimize the deficit but were left reeling as the German defence kept them at bay, and at the end of time the full-time scoreline read 3-0 in Bayern 04 Leverkusen’s favour.
