India's under-16 football team coached by India coach Thomas Joseph was defeated by Pakistan 1-2 in the title clash of the SAFF Championship on 10 August 2011.
Mohammed Zaseen put Pakistan ahead when he found the back of the net in the 25th minute. India drew level through Daniel Lalhlimpuia's strike at the stroke of half-time. Lalhlimpuia restored parity scoring off a goal-mouth melee as both teams went to the breather with the scoreline reading 1-1.
However, Pakistan took the lead again when Mohammed Mansoor scored early in the second half, a strike which eventually decided the fate of the match.
Indian was shocked as Mansoor sealed the deal for Pakistan off a corner four minutes from the change of ends. From there on India desperately looked for an equaliser, but Pakistan's defence stood tall.
