SAFF U19 C'ship Final: India beat Bangladesh on penalties – Highlights

FULL TIME!

That bit of play also brings up the final whistle. The match has ended 1-1. India scored in just the second minute and Bangladesh finally hit back just after the hour mark.

Both teams matched each other's intensity and as a result the deadlock remains.

We'll move into penalty shoot outs to decide the champions of the 2025 SAFF U19 Men's Championships.

IND 1-1 BAN

95' - GOAL LINE CLEARANCE, BANGLADESH!

Hossain once again comes down from his post to cut down the angle, but this time he can't neither collect the ball nor clear it away cleanly.

India with a massive chance to put the final nail in the coffin but the shot is not the best. A comfortable goal line clearance, second of the night, from Bangladesh.

90' - Five minutes added

Five minutes added to the clock at the end of regulation time. Can either of these side score? Or will be head into a penalty shootout to crown the 2025 SAFF U19 Men's Champions?

90' - SAVE, HOSSAIN!

India with a good run from the right and Ismail Hossain once again comes down from his post to cut down the angle and deny the hosts. That could have been the match for India.

IND 1-1 BAN

84' - Time running out

The clock is ticking down and both teams seem short of ideas at the moment. A lot of midfield exchanges and long passes. Nothing good enough to threaten the goalkeepers.

75' - India go wide

A good receive and pull back from Yohaan Benjamin inside the box before he passes. An unmarked, rushing Rishi Singh does manage to reach in time, but he puts it wide.

71' - Ismail Hossain with a good take

Free kick from a long distance from India and they are yet again on point. Md Arbash with the shot this time and Ismail does well to collect it low. Gets a pat on his head from a teammate does the goalkeeper.

61' - BANGLADESH EQUALISE!

They had been threatening this since the final stages of the first half and it has finally arrived. India's run of clean sheets at the 2025 SAFF Championship has been brought to an end.

A corner for Bangladesh, after a fantastic save from Suraj Singh and they take full advantage.

Much like late in the first half, it is total chaos in front of the goal after the corner is delivered in. Bangladesh manage to get a shot this time and Suraj Singh let's the ball slip through.

It hits the goalkeeper's hands before storming into the net. 

Bangladesh have silenced the packed house in Arunachal Pradesh.

IND 1-1 BAN

58' - An acrobatic attempt from India

A pass from the right and Prashan Jajo pulls out an acrobatic attempt, trying to slot the ball in. Unfortunately for him and India, Jajo fails to connect. 

IND 1-0 BAN

57' - Both teams evenly matched

Nothing to write home in the early stages of the second half. Both teams happy to slow the game down. No real chances for either teams.
