Kerala 2-0 Haryana
(P Adil 22′, Ajin A 80′)
Scoring once in each half, Kerala confirmed their supremacy, finishing the group with an all-win record and nine points from three matches. Kerala will now cross swords with Group B winners Delhi on Thursday for a place in the semifinals.
Kerala, who dominated the match most of the time, opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. Midfielder Akhish Cyril took a curling corner from the right that landed in the box, and P Adil evaded his markers to head past the Haryana goalkeeper Hitesh.
One more goal in the 80th minute by Ajin A decidedly took the match away from Haryana’s grip. Kerala finished their group engagements by scoring 11 goals. They conceded only one in the 3-1 win over Gujarat. Haryana ended with two wins and one defeat.
