The coach of the Indian school team, Raghu Kumar said, "We missed a good opportunity to be in the semifinals. Had we beaten China, we could have made it through. Even though we lost 2-1 (against China), we had good chances to score early and conceded unexpected goals. The team played well but it ended a bit unfortunate for us.
"We had two to three injuries to our key players. One of them got injured in the friendlies, so it was difficult to field a full strength team from the beginning," he added.
