Atletico Paranaense trash India U-16 4-0 in Brazil U-17 Tournament!

Atletico Paranaense Under-17s proved to be too strong for their Indian counterparts in the second match of the ongoing U-17 International Tournament. India were on the receiving end as the host team garnered a 4-0 win yesterday, December 13 on the second matchday of the tournament.

Atletico Paranaense started on a high tempo and they did not need more than 15 minutes to find the back of the net. Four minutes later, they doubled the lead from a long well-taken corner.

India Under-16 head coach Nicolai Adam quickly tried to reshuffle his strategies by introducing Abhijit in the place of Aman Chetri.

At the stroke of the half-time, the Atletico Paranaense striker headed another goal from a looping cross from the right flank.

Nicolai opted for a double substitution in the second half bringing on Shubham and Sarif, having withdrawn Aniket and Sanjeev respectively but that could not deter the inevitable.

The home team nailed the final one in India’s coffin in the 10th minute of the second half to take all three points home.

India are slated to face the Uruguay Under-17 National Team in the last fixture of the round robin stage at 22.00h tonight, December 14.
