India U17s Unfazed In The Face Of Goliath Task Against IR Iran
The Blue Colts currently stand third in Group D, with four points from three matches. However, second-placed Lebanon have played all of their four matches, accruing six points, while IR Iran are at the top with seven points from their three games. With only the top team sealing their berth for the tournament proper, India need to defeat Iran in order to qualify. For Iran, a draw would be enough.
India began their campaign with a draw against Palestine (1-1), before they managed to get their first victory in the qualifiers against Chinese Taipei (3-1). While they did slump to a defeat against Lebanon (0-2) in their last game, the result ended up being inconsequential. Despite having the prospect of having to defeat Asian giants Iran, head coach Bibiano Fernandes and his boys are prepared for the challenge.
