KATHMANDU: Nepal have faced 5-0 defeat against India in 2019 SAFF U-15 Championship opener on Wednesday at the Kalyani Stadium, West Bengal.
The hosts took the lead as early as the fifth minute when Maheson sneaked in from the left and found the top corner with a powerful shot. Maheson then turned provider for India’s next goal, this time getting the better of his marker on the right flank to send in a low cross for Shubho to steer the ball into the back of the net in the 24th minute.
India led by three goals at half-time through Maheson Singh (5′), Shubho Paul (24′) and Anish Mazumder (43′). The tally was completed by Taison Singh (49′) and Sridarth Nongmeikapam (56′) in the second half.
