Riding on Vikram Pratap Singh’s hat-trick a superior India U-16 scored four times against hosts Jordan to register a comfortable 4-0 victory in their first match of the 5th WAFF U-16 Championship at the King Abdullah II Stadium in Jordan today (August 1, 2018).




Vikram opened the scoring in the 43rd minute and then added two more in the 61st and the 73rd minutes to complete the trick before Bekey Oram completed the rout in the 84th minute.




A strong Japan U-16 awaits the Indian colts in the next match on August 3, 2018 (Friday) evening, the live telecast of which will be available on Techtro - Indian football HUB This is the 4th exposure tour since June 30 for the boys after trips to China, Thailand and Malaysia.
The match started at a slow pace with both the teams hooked on to a 'safety-first' approach and no one could garner a clear chance. Givson, who generally operates as the distributor in the middle, floated a looping ball from the left wing for Vikram in the 13th minute but the Jordanian goalkeeper came out to clear it away.
It was, however, Vikram who broke the deadlock two minutes to the half-time from inside the 6-yard box..
