India outclassed Mongolia 4-1 to begin their campaign in the AFC U20 Asian Cup qualifiers on a winning note here today.

The teams were locked 1-1 at half-time but India stepped up the assault in the second half to leave Mongolia’s defence in tatters. Kelvin Singh Taorem (20th minute), Manglenthang Kipgen (51st, 54th), and Korou Singh Thingujam (85th) were the goal-scorers for India. Temulen Uuganbat (45th) struck the solitary goal for Mongolia.

Iran and hosts Laos are the two other teams in Group G.

The Blue Colts were a perfectly deserving lot to take home three points as they attacked from the beginning.
