In a historic moment for Indian football, for the first time, the Indian U-17 World Cup squad defeated the U-17 Youth team of Italy who have won the FIFA World Cup four times 2-0, in Arizo, Italy yesterday.
Strikes by Abhijit Sarkar (31) and Rahul Praveen (80) led the Indian U-17 World Cup Team to a massive win over the 'Azzuri' in a match largely dominated by the Indian Colts in terms of possession and chances created.
The Colts got off the blocks in Italy and gave the opposition a tough time early on. Komal Thatal's 8th minute strike went whiskers past the Italian custodian as India hunted in packs for an early lead.
In the 31st minute the goal for the Indian Colts came when Abhijit's cross took a wicked deflection off the Italian defence line and ended up in the back of the opposition net to give India the lead.
Goal scoring chances every now and then had to bear fruits and it did for the Indian Colts in the 80th minute when Rahul scored from inside the box to double India's lead as the scoreline read 2-0.
