Quarterfinal decisive clash between India and Lebanon

The India U17 Women’s National Football team suffered back-to-back two losses in the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup, as the clash against Lebanon will be the decisive one to gain a spot in the quarterfinals. Blue Tigresses showed a good brand of football, but the experience was lacking very much in this bigger stage. If we look at the table of the other groups, India right now is placed with a superior goal difference than the Group C sides, the Philippines and Chinese Taipei. As it means anyone who will win the game in their next tie needs a big margin of victory. India will look to convert this situation in their favour as Lebanon might be the easiest tie they can face in the Asian Cup campaign.
Talking about Lebanon, who got destroyed by Japan in their opening match with a score line of 13-0, that showed their defensive vulnerability in the game. But they came back from behind, in their last match against Australia, where the game ended in a 1-1 draw. They also look to secure a commanding win over the Indian team as they are in line for the quarterfinal phase. India just has one thing on their mind, which is to make sure they win against Lebanon to secure the qualification spot.
