Thimphu, Sep 30: India’s stranglehold on the SAFF U17 championship remained intact as they retained the title, defeating Bangladesh 2-0 in the final of the 2024 edition at the Changlimithang Stadium here on Monday.After a barren first half, Mohammed Kaif put India ahead with a beauty of a header in the 58th minute. Whatever challenges Bangladesh were left with was finished off by Mohammed Arbash in the 90+5 minutes with a stinging left-footer.Indian boys called the shot from the beginning, but it is never easy to find the target against a team that refused to show interest in taking the ball ahead and took the pitch with an utmost defensive mindset.The Indians found their road blocked by a jungle of legs whenever they managed to carry the ball into the opposition half.
