India's Under-15 football team continued its unbeaten run at the inaugural FIFA U15 World Cup & Festival Azerbaijan 2026, but a 3-3 draw against Grenada felt more like a loss. The young 'Blue Colts' squandered a comfortable 3-0 lead with just 11 minutes remaining in their Group K match at the Hovsan Competition Complex in Baku.

Macdonnish Ngairangbam opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, followed by skipper C. Lalhmingropuia in the 22nd minute, and Ronandev Aheibam extended the lead to 3-0 in the 29th minute with a brilliant individual effort. However, Grenada mounted a stunning comeback, with Jaywarni Noel scoring twice and Kai Wilson adding another, all within a six-minute blitz, to snatch a draw at the final whistle.

This was India's second match of the day, having defeated Cameroon 2-1 earlier. Despite the late setback, Bibiano Fernandes' boys remain the only unbeaten side in Group K with seven points. Cameroon and Senegal follow with six points each, while Bahrain has four, and Laos and Grenada one point each. India will play Bahrain at 14:15 IST and Senegal at 21:00 IST on Monday to conclude their qualification stage.
