India Sri Lanka 2019 SAFF U-15 Championship

Bibiano Fernandes’ boys have scored a staggering 17 goals in three matches and are yet to concede one…

India continue with their 100 per cent record in the 2019 SAFF (South Asian Football Federation) U-15 Championship as they beat Sri Lanka 5-0 at the Kalyani Stadium, West Bengal, on Tuesday afternoon.

The Blue Colts have hence made it three wins in as many matches after humiliating Bhutan by a 7-0 defeat after defeating Nepal 5-0 in the opener. With a game in hand, India have already secured a game in hand despite Bangladesh having an opportunity to draw level on points as a result of the hosts’ superior goal difference.

Hat-trick hero Himanshu Jangra (32′, 45+4′, 62′) gave India the lead and ensured that his side had a four-goal cushion at half-time as Maheson Singh (39′) and Shubho Paul (43′) also scored before the break. However, Bibiano Fernandes’ side could add just one to the count in the second half.
