India lose to Uruguay in U-17 football meet

New Delhi, Dec 15  The India U-17 football team went down to Uruguay 1-2 in their last match of the round-robin stage match in the Atletico Paranaense U-17 International Tournament.

Wednesday's defeat was India's third straight defeat in the tournament, according to an All-India Football Federation (AIFF) release here.

After conceding two goals on either side of the break, Komal Thatal halved the difference but a gritty Uruguayan defence contained the Indian attackers till the final whistle.
