That's all we have from the 2025 SAFF Men's U19 Championship Final between India and Bangladesh.

The hosts lost their record of maintaining clean sheets throughout the tournament but it doesn't really matter, does it? They were pushed to the limit by Bangladesh, but India hold their nerves to win the title for a second time with a hard fought 4-3 victory on penalties.

It was India, who dominated the early exchanges. They scored as early as the second minute, thanks to a stellar goal from Shami almost from the half-line.

Bangladesh grew in confidence towards the end of the first half and also had a goal denied in the 42nd minute. They, however, showed stomach for fight and scored in the second half.

India pushed late in the second half, looking for an outright win but were denied by some good goalkeeping and a goal line clearance.

The Blue colts did not have the best of starts to the penalty shoot-out and trailed 2-3 after three shots apiece. Bangladesh, however, failed to hold their nerves and let the title slip away from their hands.
