India pumped in two second-half goals to beat hosts Laos 2-0 in their concluding Group G match of the AFC U-20 Asian Cup 2025 Qualifiers here on Sunday.

The Blue Colts squandered a series of scoring chances before finding the net through Gwgwmsar Goyary (69th minute) and Thanglalsoun Gangte (84th) to notch up full points.

While India finished second in the four-team group with six points from three matches behind Iran (nine points), it remains to be seen whether this is enough for them to secure a spot in the final rounds of the competition.
