A good performance ensured India routed Myanmar 4-1 to stay in contention for a quarter-final berth in the 10th Asian Football Confederation Under-17 championship at Abu Dhabi on Monday. India lost their first match to China 1-4 on Friday and face UAE in their final league encounter for a place in the last eight. Earlier, China beat the UAE 1-0 to become the first country to qualify for the quarter-finals. Suting Marlangki scored the fastest goal of the tournament so far to put India ahead 24 seconds into the game. Receiving a pass from Jerry Zirsanga, Marlangki craftily shot the ball into the goal to the delight of the Indian supporters. Malsawma made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute when his free kick eluded the Myanmar keeper Tun Tun Lin. India tightened their grip on the match with another goal through Ralte Lalmuankima shortly before the half time. A fourth goal third minutes into the second half by Lamare Rocus virtually clinched the issue for India. Myanmar missed a golden opportunity to score in the 27th minute when Kyaw Kyaw Soe's shot hit the crossbar. They managed to reduce the margin through a Win Min Htut goal scored in the 70th minute but that was as far as they got. The tournament features 12 countries and the top three would represent the Asian continent in the Fifa U-17 World Championship in Finland next year.
