Sweden outplay India 4-0 to win U-17 Women's tournament

Sweden registered a dominant 4-0 win against India on Thursday to win the U-17 Women's football tournament held at the Mumbai Football Arena.

Rusul Kafaji (4'), Elma Nelhage (16'), Evelina Duljan (18') and Monica Bah )71') got on the scoresheet to douse India's hopes in what was largely a one-sided affair. For the hosts, it was a matter of gaining vital experience against difficult opponents.

India were pegged back early on when Rusul made a dangerous run to receive the ball outside the box and fired into the net.
