India U-17 defeated Guam U-17 12-0 at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium in Malaysia in the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers on Saturday, moving to the top of Group E. India scored seven in the first half and five in the second.

The result was described in the source as a masterclass in attacking football and came ahead of a scheduled match against an in-form Palestine. The win improved the Blue Colts’ standing in Group E and followed an opening victory in which captain Dallalmuon Gangte also scored three goals.

Captain Dallalmuon Gangte set the tone with a first-half hat-trick, continuing the scoring form he showed against Singapore in India’s opening match. His movement and finishing inside the box were singled out in match coverage as decisive in the early stages.

Raj Singh Wahengbam produced a second-half hat-trick, completing one of his goals with a solo run that beat two defenders before he finished, and he added a late fourth to cap his personal tally. The match featured two players recording hat-tricks for Mehrajuddin Wadoo’s squad, a point noted in media commentary about the team’s attacking depth.

Goals were shared across the team, with Leo Thongbam, Hrishikesh, David Irom (who scored a brace), Felix and Ristik Maity also on the scoresheet. Coverage highlighted that substitutes such as Felix made immediate impacts after entering the game.

The 12-0 victory sent India to the top of Group E, though only group winners are guaranteed a spot in the 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan. Palestine also has a perfect record so far and has yet to concede; India have now scored 16 goals in two matches, and media reports said their defensive solidity will face a stern test against Palestine.

The two sides meet on November 17th in a game described in coverage as effectively a final for Group E, a match that will have direct implications for qualification to the 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup.
