MARGAO: India will look to put behind the disappointment of their opening match loss to United Arab Emirates and get their act together when they take on Saudi Arabia in their second group A of the AFC U-16 on Sunday.

India had started off well in the last match but failed to sustain the momentum and eventually succumbed to a 2-3 defeat.

India coach Nicolai Adam said that the team is keen to win and will put its best foot forward.

“The atmosphere after the opening match was not good. But I told them that we have to experience the suffering, and that energy we will put into the next game,” said the coach.
