India U-16 played friendlies against UAE U-16 in Dubai - 11 Sep - UAE 2-1 India 15 Sep -UAE 3-2 India
so far 35 minutes Iraq ahead 2-0 over Oman Arab u-16 top scorer & MVP Sherko Kareem scored the 2 goals
Iran 4-1 Yemen Kuwait 4-3 Laos Iraq 2-0 Thailand Laos is out. Iran advance to quarter final and will face either Iraq/Oman/Australia.
North Korea - Japan match will be interesting. South Korea with 2 wins against them are now guaranteed of 1st place in their group regardless of their last game against Saudi Arabia due to the ranking in a group being determined by the greater number of points gained between the teams, not by the goal differences.
yeah, but going out of a tournament with 3 losses out of 3 games is not good by any standards (assuming that they lose their next match as well), and they've done it twice now in recent memory (Asian Cup and now this).
Iraq 0-0 Australia They both ended on the exact amount of points, goal diff, and goals scored. So the first position was decided by a penalty shoot-out which Iraq won.
