The big news: India U-16 face Saudi Arabia U-16 in Goa

The young Indian colts put up a spirited display in their first match against the UAE Under-16 team, only to throw away a 2-1 lead to end up losing 2-3 to the boys from the Gulf.

Their task of qualifying for the next stage has become tougher and they must get a point at the very least against the Saudi Arabia U-16's on Sunday to have any chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the tournament being held in Goa. Saudi Arabia lost 2-3 to Iran in their opening game and will be out to get three points themselves.
