India U-17s register comprehensive win over TSV Schwaben Augsburg in Germany

India U-17s register comprehensive win over TSV Schwaben Augsburg in Germany

Augsburg (Germany), May 29 (UNI) The India U-17 Men’s National Team beat TSV Schwaben Augsburg 4-0 in a practice game at the Paul Renz Akademie, in Augsburg, on Monday.
Lemmet Tangvah scored a brace in the first half, while Rohen Singh and Thanglalsoun Gangte
added two more, to make it a comprehensive 4-0 victory for India in their last practice game in Germany.
The Blue Colts were off to a flying start, and after a shot by Akash Tirkey was saved by TSV Schwaben keeper Niklas Frank in the opening exchanges, Lemmet Tangvah put India in the
lead in the 16th minute off a croner by Gogocha Chungkham.
Six minutes later, Lemmet turned provider, when his cross from the right found Rohen Singh,
who made the most of his opportunity to double India’s lead.
Fullback Balkaran Singh also got in on the action with eight minutes of regulation time left in the
first half, as his cross was turned in by Lemmet. With a commanding 3-0 lead in their favour, the
India U-17 boys headed into the dressing room, as head coach Bibiano Fernandes made a couple
of changes before the start of the second half. Goalkeeper Pranav was replaced by Julfikar Gazi, while forward Shashwat was replaced by Thanglalsoun Gangte.
TSV Schwaben did come out with a greater impetus, but Gazi was up to the task, as he thwarted efforts by Mustafa Yalcin and Burak Uludag. India soon struck a fourth, 10 minutes after the restart, when Gogocha found Gangte with an inch-perfect pass, as the latter got his name on the scoresheet.
Lemmet was on the lookout for his hat-trick, and almost came close to netting his third of the game
in the 64th minute when he latched on to a Gogocha cross, but Schwaben defender Hazem Ibrahim made a last-ditch block to thwart the effort. That was the last chance Lemmet had as he was soon replaced by defender Gurnaj Singh Grewal.
Gogocha had another chance to make it five in the closing exchanges, as he hit the woodwork, but the scoreline remained 4-0 in India’s favour.The India U-17s will now train in Augsburg for one more day, before travelling to Thailand on June 1 for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup. The team will train in Thailand for two weeks, before they face Vietnam (June 17), Uzbekistan (June 20), and Japan
(June 23) in Group D of the tournament.
India U-17 XI: Pranav Sundarraman (GK) (Julfikar Gazi 46'), Faizan Waheed, Mukul Panwar, Balkaran Singh, Pramveer (C) (Manjot Singh Dhami 62'), Akash Tirkey, Prachit Gaonkar (Omang 57'), Rohen Singh, Lemmet Tangvah (Gurnaj Singh Grewal 79'), Gogocha Chungkham, Shashwat Panwar (Thanglalsoun Gangte 46').
