‘We Were Dominant In Both Matches’: Alexandersson Sees Positives Despite India U17’s Goalless Draws
UFA National Football Centre: India U17 women’s head coach Joakim Alexandersson believes the Young Tigresses showed encouraging signs during their recent tour of Tashkent, where they played out two goalless draws against Uzbekistan, as the team continues its preparations for the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup China 2027 Qualifiers in Kuala Lumpur next month.
India faced the Central Asian side twice at the UFA National Football Centre last week, with neither match producing a goal. However, Alexandersson felt the scorelines did not fully reflect the balance of play, with his side enjoying greater control but falling short in the decisive moments in attack.
“I think the scoreline reflects our performances quite well,” he said. “We were the dominant team in both matches, but we were sloppy in our passing and combinations in the final third, which affected the number of chances we were able to create.”
