Nepal lose to India in SAFF U17 Championship semi-final

Nepal was defeated by India 4-2 in the semi-finals of the SAFF U17 Championship 2024 in Bhutan on Saturday.

After a goalless first half, Vishal Yadav scored twice to give India a two-goal lead. Subash Bam pulled one back for Nepal in the 81st minute, but India restored their advantage through Rishi Singh just four minutes later.

An own goal by Mohammed Kaif a minute before full time brought Nepal within one goal, but Hemneichung Lunkim's late goal in added time ultimately sealed Nepal's exit from the tournament.
