After playing out a 1-1 draw against Tajikistan, the Indian under-16 football team faces a stiff opposition in Lebanon in their second match of the AFC Qualifiers at the Ali Sabah Al-Salem Stadium here tomorrow.

The result against a very powerful Tajikistan would have surely helped India's confidence going into the match and the coach too sounded optimistic.

"Our boys have settled down and will go out and play. We are confident about their potential," Head coach Goutam Ghosh said.

"We had our moments against Tajikistan and we need to capitalise on them. It was the first-ever AFC Match for the boys. We need to plug in the holes and improve on our positives," he said.
 

Lebanon won their first match against Bhutan 4-2 only to go down to hosts Kuwait 1-5 in their second match.

"It was a bad day for us. But we have to come back strongly," Lebanon Coach Ibrahim said.
