The India U-17 football team suffered a 1-2 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the last match of their exposure trip to Europe. Tuesday night's match, which was slated to be a 80-minute affair, was part of the preparations of the Indian team as they gear up for the U-17 World Cup at home later this year.

Carlos Silva (40th minute) put the hosts in the lead just before half-time. Aniket Jadhav (41st) quickly levelled the scores for the Indians after the resumption but Ussumane (51st) scored the second goal for Sporting Lisbon to settle the issue in the hosts' favour.
