India U-15s complete 7-1 rout of Port FC in Thailand
Sridarth and Himanshu both scored a brace each in the Blue Colts' commanding win.
The Indian U-15 National Team on their exposure tour in Thailand clashed against Port FC U-15s and won 7-1 today.
The Indian colts had taken the lead in the early minutes of the match when in the 15th minute Shubho’s fantastic run saw his dribble past a couple of defenders and find Sridarth in the box. The latter bundled the ball home to give India a solitary goal lead.
Five minutes later, Sridarth beat the onrushing custodian with a long shot but some last second defending by the opposition resulted in a goal line clearance as the opposition survived the attack.
