India U17 vs Korea Republic U17

India U17 were held to a 0-0 draw by South Korea U17 in the final match of their three-game friendly series in Lopburi, Thailand on Tuesday. Neither side could find the breakthrough in a tightly contested behind-closed-doors affair at the Phra Ramesuan Stadium. Head coach Bibiano Fernandes' Blue Colts had earlier drawn 2-2 with Thailand — thanks to goals from Gunleiba Wangkheirakpam and Denny Singh Wangkhem — before taking on Indonesia and South Korea in quick succession. The stalemate against the Koreans capped a solid if unspectacular camp. Attention now shifts to the AFC U17 Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2026, kicking off in May. India face Uzbekistan, Australia, and DPR Korea in Group D, and Fernandes will hope the defensive resilience shown in Lopburi carries over to the continental stage.
