The India U-20 team, coached by Floyd Pinto, registered a memorable 2-1 win over the Argentina U-20 national team and concluded their 2018 COTIF Cup campaign in L'Alcúdia, Spain on Monday.

The Indian Colts comprised of eight 2017 U-17 World Cup participants while the Indian Arrows team that plays in the I-League made up the rest of the squad. Deepak Tangri's header from Ninthoinganba Meetei's corner-kick gave India an early lead. Though Aniket Jadhav was sent off in the second half, the Blue Tigers did not fold.
