SAFF U-18 Championship: Indian colts held to a goalless draw by Bangladesh in their opening encounter

Firstpost  

With Bangladesh committing bodies in defence, the Indians found it difficult to get past their opponent’s backline. Kathmandu: India were held to a goalless draw by Bangladesh in their opening match of the the SAFF U-18 Championship on Monday. India started the match on an attacking note but an injury to goalkeeper Prabhsukan Singh Gill in the ninth minute forced coach Floyd Pinto to make an early change. Despite ringing in two changes in the attacking line, India failed to create goal scoring opportunities and even failed to convert half chances. But these boys will improve as the tournament progresses, and their quality of football will also improve.” India will play Sri Lanka in their last group stage match of the Championship on 25 September.
