The victory of Pakistan further strengthens their chances to qualify for the final round of the inaugural AFC U-14 Championship. Pakistani Youth footballers showed their professional game skills to outclass the top teams of Asia. Match against India at any level is considered as the biggest match. The players of both teams always have an added pressure to perform beyond their ability and strength.
According to spokesman of the PFF, Pakistan didn't take any extra pressure in a match of such level and enjoyed most of the possession. They were focused and showed their dominance against the Indian team. This match was equally important for India whose team has already lost the most crucial match against host Iran and won against Kyrgyzstan. This match was equally important for India to remain in the competition but their hopes got a shock in this match by a better planning and offensive strategy of the Pakistani team under the expert coaching.
President PFF Faisal Saleh Hayat praised the great efforts made by the Pakistani team in the thrilling match.
Pakistan U-14 National team would play their last and the most crucial game against the host Iran today. This match will confirm the slot of one team from Group D for the final round of AFC U-14 Championship.
