In a drab first half, the Indian Colts had an opportunity to go ahead as early as the 13^th minute but Givson’s shot missed the goal by a whisker as DPR Korea survived an early scare. With DPR Korea dominating possession, the Indian Colts relied on counter-attacks and in the 39^th minute, Givson, once again found himself in the mix, this time however, his shot was saved by the opposition custodian.

The Indian Colts survived a scare in the 44^th minute when DPR Korea rattled the woodwork as the half-time scoreline read 0-0 as both teams went into the tunnel on level pegging. Changing over, in the 60^th minute, Bekey’s shot was saved by the Korean defense line. However, in the 75^th minute, the opponents took the lead and found the net to make the scoreline read 1-0.

It wasn’t long before the Indian Colts came up with their response and were awarded a penalty in the 77^thminute, which Vikram Pratap Singh slotted with ease to make the scoreline read 1-1. The full-time scoreline read 1-1 as both teams shared the spoils of battle. In the Tournament, the Indian U-16’s had earlier faced hosts China U-17’s, and Thailand U-16’s, losing 0-1 and 1-3 respectively.
