AFC Under-16 Football Qualifiers
Mizo boy stars in India’s win:
Nov 5: Mizoram boy Malsawmfela scored a brace as India took a big step towards qualification for the AFC Under-16 football tournament with a 3-0 victory over hosts Saudi Arabia at Dammam.
Malsawmfela scored in the 42th and 50th minutes while Lalrindika Ralte added a third in the 65th minute at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahad Stadium to put it across a team which had won their first three matches in Group C.
With just one match left for the six teams in the group, India have 10 points from four games and are second in the group behind Iraq on goal difference. Saudi Arabia have nine points.
India play their final group on November 7 against Bhutan, who have lost all their matches so far, and should be favourites to seal a place in next year's main tournament.
The Himalayan kingdom lost 1-4 to Lebanon while Iraq beat Sri Lanka 7-0. A draw should be enough for India to go through.
Another factor in India's favour is that Saudi Arabia and Iraq will face off in the final pool match and one team is bound to lose points from the game.
