HOW CAN INDIA QUALIFY FOR THE AFC U-17 ASIAN CUP?:
Scenario 1: India will definitely qualify for the main event if they beat Saudi Arabia in the final group stage game on October 9. They will finish as group toppers which will ensure them a berth for the finals.
Scenario 2: If India drop points then they will either stay on nine, in case of a loss, or they will move to 10, in the event of a draw. However, while drawing up the table of the best second-placed ranked teams the results against the fourth and fifth-placed teams in groups with five teams, will not be considered. So India's results against Maldives and Myanmar will have no bearing in this scenario.
The top six teams will qualify and India are currently third-placed in this table. A draw will take them to four points whereas in the event of a loss they will continue to have the same number of points.
Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) goals scored; 4) disciplinary points; 5) drawing of lots.

The ball seemed to have crossed the goal line after the SA goalkeeper had initially grabbed the ball from the corner!!!
