Bhuvnesh and Rohit Danu scored the goals for the Blue Colts.
The Indian U-16 National Team currently on an exposure tour in Thailand, defeated Buriram United FC U-17 2-0 today (July 13, 2018). An early goal by Bhuvnesh in the 3rd minute and Rohit Danu’s 83rd-minute strike led the Indian colts to an easy win in a match largely dominated by them, both in terms of possession and chances created.
The signs of danger for the opponents were there from the first minute and Bhuvneh’s 3rd-minute goal, when he tapped home a Givson cross from the flanks, proved that the Indian colts were aiming to make easy work of their opponents.
India led 1-0 at half-time and a flurry of goal scoring opportunities came in the second half, although Bibiano Fernandes’s boys could only take one out of many. In the 53rd minute, Ridge De’ Mello’s bullet header was saved by the opposition custodian and shortly after Thoiba’s rasping shot earned a top quality save from the opposition custodian.
