India Beat Cameroon To Make It Two Wins From Two At FIFA U15 World Cup & Festival

India continued their winning run at the inaugural FIFA U15 World Cup & Festival Azerbaijan 2026, defeating Cameroon 2-1 in their second Group K match on Sunday. An own goal by Fareil Ngobo (1') gave the Blue Colts an early lead, but Cameroon equalised through a Muhammad Sohil Khan own goal (20') just before half-time at the Hovsan Competition Complex Pitch 1B. R Lalremruatfela (27') restored India's advantage in the second half, while goalkeeper Jenit Ningthoujam produced a series of saves, including a penalty stop, to secure the victory. India are now the only team in Group K to have won both their matches so far.

Despite the rainy conditions, the Blue Colts made an immediate impact. Deepak Singh Arambam's corner in the opening minute caused confusion in the Cameroon penalty area, with Ngobo attempting a headed clearance that ended up in his own net.

India managed the closing stages well, maintaining their shape and seeing out the contest to secure a second successive victory.

India will next face Grenada later on Sunday before concluding the qualification stage against Bahrain and Senegal on October 26.

Their results across the five matches will determine the performance tier they enter in the second phase of the tournament.
