India U-17 went down fighting 0-2 against U-18 Leganes in their second training match on the tour of Spain at Otero De Herreros, Segovia, on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The India U-17 team is currently on a preparatory tour to Spain ahead of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup, in Thailand which is going to be held in June-July this year. They had earlier played a training game against Atletico de Madrid U-17s, which the Colts won 4-1, last week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian boys started the match on a positive note and attacked from the word go. The Blue Colts had an early chance in the fourth minute when Shashwat Panwar's shot from Danny Meitei Laishram's well-planned cross was collected by the keeper, said a report on the AIFF website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Though trying to maintain possession and control the tempo of the game, the India U-17 boys fell into arrears in the 35th minute when Ricky Meetei Haobam's cross was cleared by Leganes's Senou, and Priso capitalised from the counter-attack, leading to the opening goal of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Succumbing to an early goal did not deter the spirits of the Indian boys and in the 40th minute, Korou Singh Thinguiam tried to level the score off a Guite cross, but his shot was blocked by Allan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The second half started with a flurry of attacks from the local side and Gonzalo found the back of the net to double the score for Leganes in the 68th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
