New Delhi: Hello and welcome to the India.com Live Updates of India vs Colombia, Group A match of FIFA U-17 World Cup, to be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. Both India and Colombia will play their second match of the tournament after facing defeats in their opening games.
While India lost 3-0 to United States, Colombia went down 1-0 to Ghana. It will be the second match of the day and will be played at 8 pm IST. This match is a must-win for both teams. Colombia’s greater experience of having been two-time semi-finalists before will see them go in as favourites.
Indian coach Luis Norton de Matos was not happy with the outcome of the opening game, and he would be hoping that his players put up a better show against the South American giants.
Colombia have so far competed in five editions of the tournament, finishing third on two occasions. They hustled and bustled their way to India with a last-ditch victory over continental rival Paraguay, but they will still be a handful for the Indians.
The first to land in India for the tournament, Colombia have acclimatised themselves with the conditions, though they started the tournament with a reverse.
India squad: Dheeraj Singh, Prabhsukhan Gill, Sunny Dhaliwal, Jitendra Singh, Anwar Ali, Sanjeev Stalin, Hendry Antonay, Namit Deshpande, Suresh Singh, Ninthoinganba Meetei, Amarjit Singh Kiyam, Abhijit Sarkar, Komal Thatal, Lalengmawia, Jeakson Singh, Nongdamba Naorem, Rahul Kannoly Praveen, Md. Shahjahan, Rahim Ali, Aniket Jadhav.
