The 12-0 result is India's third-biggest victory in an AFC qualifying match at Under-17 level, behind only the 13-0 wins over Macau in 1984 and Brunei Darussalam in 2024, MyKhel reported.

The win took Mehrajuddin Wadoo's side to six points from two matches and to the top of Group E on goal difference, ahead of Palestine, who India face on Tuesday. Singapore have three points, while Malaysia and Guam are yet to open their accounts. Only the group winners qualify directly for the AFC U17 Asian Cup 2027 in Uzbekistan, so the Palestine match is effectively a group decider.
