AFC U-16 Championship 2016: India 2-3 UAE: 5 talking points

#2 UAE have improved but need to show consistency to go all the way

UAE have to be better to stand a chance at reaching the last stages of the tournament

UAE came into this match on the back of a 6-2 defeat at the hands of Saudi Arabia. Prior to that, they had absolutely annihilated Bangladesh 6-1. While the win against India bodes well for games to come, the coach and fans will be hoping for more consistency from the players.

During the game, there were moments of brilliance followed by large periods of mediocrity. With games against Iran and Saudi Arabia to follow, UAE will have to be at their best to get out of their group.
