India win SAFF U-19 title in penalty shootout

Yupia (Arunachal Pradesh), May 18 (UNI) India clinched the SAFF U-19 Championship 2025 title with a dramatic 4–3 win on penalties against Bangladesh after the final ended 1–1 in regulation time at the Golden Jubilee Stadium here on Sunday.
Captain Singamayum Shami opened the scoring for the hosts in the second minute with a long-range free-kick that beat Bangladesh goalkeeper Md Ismail Hossain Mahin, giving India a dream start. Bangladesh, however, equalised in the 61st minute through Md Joy Ahamed, who slotted home amid a goalmouth scramble following a corner kick.
With no further goals scored, the match proceeded to a penalty shootout. Rohen Singh’s miss early in the shootout gave Bangladesh a brief advantage, but the tide turned when their captain Nazmul Huda Faysal fired over the crossbar. Indian custodian Suraj Singh Aheibam then produced a vital save to deny Salahuddin Sahed, before Shami stepped up to convert the decisive penalty and seal the victory.
