New Delhi, June 27 (TIWN) The India U-17 women's team suffered a 0-2 defeat against Mexico U-17 in their last match of the sixth Torneo Female Football Tournament in Vilesse, Italy.

Mexico netted one in each half to wrap up the match, with Katherin Sillas and Alice Gallegos getting on the scoresheet.  It was a rather frantic start to the game in the opening exchanges, as both the sides looked to settle down to a good rhythm in the match. Mexico edged the opening exchanges in terms of creating the chances, but India also had efforts of their own.  India custodian Melody Chanu was called into action early on, as she often came off her line to punch Mexican crosses and corners away from danger. She was again called into action on the 14th minute, when she came off her line to produce another save, but Katherin Sillas was present to turn the rebound into the net.
