AFC U-16 Championship: AIFF's plan working wonders as Bibiano Fernandes and India continue to impress

India U-16's impressive run under head coach Bibiano Fernandes continued as the Blue Colts earned a ticket to the 2020 AFC U-16 Championship on Sunday.

Extending their unbeaten run to 14 games, India held Uzbekistan 1-1 to secure the top spot in Group B of the qualification round.

Bibiano's team started their campaign with a 5-0 thumping of Turkmenistan. They followed it up with another 5-0 scoreline, this time against Bahrain, and put themselves in the driving seat for qualification going into the third and final matchday. India only needed a draw to qualify as group toppers and in the end, it was a job well done in Tashkent.
