Mashhad: Pakistan continued its impressive run in the Group D of the AFC U-14 Championship qualifiers after beating rival India 2-0 to move second in the table with three wins in as many matches.
Pakistan will lock horns against hosts Iran on Monday in the top-of-the-table clash which will decide the group winner after both the sides recorded three wins in their previous three matches. The winner will qualify for the 2014 finals of the AFC U-14 Championship.
Midfielder Muhammad Akhlas opened Pakistan’s account in the 9th minute and Majeed Khan sealed the match by scoring their second in the 45th minute as India failed to score against the Pakistanis who are yet to concede a goal in the tournament.
With the defeat, the Indians are out of reckoning for the qualifications before their match against fellow strugglers Turkmenistan on Monday.
