NEW DELHI: The Indian U-17 World Cup Squad defeated combined IFA XI 2-0 at the Mohun Bagan Ground in Kolkata, West Bengal today (January 25, 2016).

Although the Indian colts attacked from the start, IFA XI adopted a defensive stance and made it virtually impossible for the Colts to foster a clear goal scoring chance, as the half-time score-line read 0-0.

Changing over and the Indian Colts finally breached the IFA XI citadel in the 54^th minute when Aniket burst into the 18 yard box and scored to give the Indian Colts a 1-0 lead.

In the 67th minute, the Indian Colts scored again through Sanjeev as he blasted his chance home following an Aniket cross to make it 2-0 for India. Attacking fluidity with defensive solidity got the Indian colts through as the full-time scoreline read 2-0.
