'I Still Remember That': Vishal Recalls 2024 Heartbreak After India's AFC U20 Asia Cup Qualification
The AFC U20 Asian Cup: India U20 winger Vishal Yadav has described the team’s qualification for the AFC U20 Asian Cup 2027 qualification as a moment of redemption, almost two years after suffering heartbreak in the 86th minute against Thailand at the U17 level.
India secured their place in the AFC U20 Asian Cup after a 20-year wait, with Yadav playing an important role in the qualifying campaign. The 18-year-old scored a spectacular goal against Bangladesh on September 6 to help India seal a crucial victory.
For Yadav, however, the qualification carried an added emotional significance. On October 27, 2024, Yadav had scored to put India U17 2-1 ahead against Thailand in their final AFC U17 Asian Cup qualifier. But Thailand struck in the 86th minute to win 3-2 and eliminate India, who needed only a draw to qualify.
