THIMPU: Indian girls on Sunday clinched the SAFF U-15 title after defeating defending champions Bangladesh by a solitary goal in the final played at the Changlimithang Stadium here.
In the previous edition last year, India had finished runners-up.
Sunita Munda’s strike in the 67th minute made all the difference between the two teams.
It was a hard-fought victory with both teams having hit the woodwork once.
The Indian girls started in an attacking fashion and as early as the 2nd minute, Avika Singh’s free-kick rattled the bar and off the rebound, Shilky Devi’s header went inches wide. (PTI)
