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

India, UAE, AFC U-16 Championship
India succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of UAE in the U-16 AFC Championship

#3 Chetri, Boris and Aniket will be future Indian stars

India looked good in attack

The trio were at their best in tonight's game and could easily find their way into the Indian national team in the near future. Most of India’s attacks early on came through Boris, while Aniket and Aman came into their own as the game progressed.

Aniket was especially good on the wings, constantly driving past the UAE defenders, although his final ball was often lacking. It was his scintillating run past 2 defenders that setup Boris for India’s second goal.

Aman Chetri too had more than his share of moments on the flank although most he did miss a sitter when the scores were 2-2. He also had a couple of chances late on but misfired. This will be a learning experience for the team and expect the trio to come out even better next time around.
