India completed a hat-trick of losses in the 2017 FIFA Under-17 World Cup at the Jawarlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday.

A 4-0 defeat against Ghana in their final group A game meant India exited the tournament with three losses in as many games.

Here are highlights of the match

'21:53

That's it, Ghana have won 4-0!

The Indian players are in tears.

'21:48

GOAL!

Ghana score two goals inside a minute!

Substitute Emmanuel Toku slots home the ball after Sulley's strike hits the post.

This is getting embarrassing for the hosts.

Ghana lead 4-0.

'21:46

GOAL!

Ghana lead 3-0.

Richard Danso compounds India's misery after some shoddy work in the mid-field by the hosts.

Another heavy defeat on the cards for India.

'21:44

Another shot on target for India!

This time it's the man who just came on a few minutes ago - Lalengmawia.

Will India be able to salvage some pride with just over five minutes of normal time to go?

Ghana lead 2-0 at the moment.

'21:42

Rahul Kannoly Praveen gets India's first shot on target.

It was a snap shot after he got the ball through a deflection.

Meanwhile, Ghana's goal-scorer for the night Eric Aiyah is taken off.

Great game for the Ghana captain, scored two fine goals.

'21:38

India's only promising striker is taken off, Lalengmawia comes on.

The hosts are simply going through the motions, waiting for the final whistle.

'21:34

Sulley plays a ball across goal, Aiyah fails to get a touch.

Ghana are inching towards another goal here.

'21:25

Ghana's Ibrahim Sulley takes a shot from half-line.

The Indian goal-keeper was off his line and the ball bounced off the netting on top.

What a goal that would've been!

India can barely get the ball into the Ghana half at the moment.

Utter domination by the visitors!

'21:23

Indian goal-keeper Dheeraj forced to make a double save!

First, a chip shot padded away. Followed by a long distance strike that is blocked away to safety.

Meanwhile, Indian captain Amarjit Singh Kiyam is taken off. He is replaced by Rahim Ali.

'21:18

Forced substitution for India.

Nongdamba Naorem limps of after getting a knock on his foot. Ninthoinganba Meetei replaces him.

'21:13

GOAL!

Eric Aiyah, Ghana's captain, scores his second goal of the night.

A brilliant left-footed shot that founded the corner of Dheeraj's goal.

India's World Cup dream is evaporating in front of their own eyes.

Ghana lead 2-0.

'21:11

India finding it hard to string together two passes here.

The action has simply shifted from one end of the pitch to the other.

'21:08

Ghana's Ibrahim gets booked for a rash tackle on Amarjit.

That means he'll miss the next match if his team qualify.

'21:06

We're set for kick-off in the second half.

Will India be able to stage a comeback?

Let's find out!

'20:50

That's the end of the first half.

Ghana lead 1-0 at the break.

India will need to have more men forward if they have to make a game of this.

Join us after a short break for the second half!

'20:46

Ghana's Al Hassan gets a Yellow Card for back to back tackles on Aniket.

Just a couple of minutes of stoppage time left in the first half.

'20:43

GOAL!

Ghana finally take the lead just before half-time.

Dheeraj blocks a cross from the left, but Eric Aiyah pokes it back and finds the back of the net.

India's resistance finally broken!

'20:42

Dheeraj runs to the right flank to clear the ball, but Ghana get back possession at the side line and fire a shot that hits the side netting.

'20:38

India committing too many players at the back.

There aren't enough players in the middle to collect lose balls. They're always second to get to it.

Strangely, Indian keeper Dheeraj is also holding the ball for as long as he can every time he gets it.

What is the point of playing so defensively and also intentionally wasting time?

Are India playing for a draw? The only way they have a chance of going further in the tournament is if they win by a huge margin tonight.

'20:34

Yellow Card for Boris!

High boot at the edge of the box. Always a dangerous thing to do.

The free kick from Eric Ayiah sails way over the bar.

'20:28

Another sensational shot from Ghana!

This time Isaac Gyamfi lets fly from about 35 yards out.

The ball sails inches over the cross bar.

The difference in sheer power between the players from both teams is telling.

'20:24

Ghana coach imploring his players to have more movement.

The visitors have looked more likely to score thus far.

'20:22

Ghana full-back Al Hassan drives one from 30 yards out, the ball flies just over the cross bar.

That was close!

'20:20

Ibrahim goes clear on the right, takes a quick shot on goal but Indian keeper Dheeraj is up to the task.

'20:19

India are stepping it up here!

Slowly shifting the play in Ghana's half.

The energy is electrifying!

'20:16

Dazzling run from Boris down the middle, earns India a free-kick after getting clipped.

India's free-kick specialist Sanjeev steps up to take a shot from about 30 yards out, but his strike lacks venom and is cleared by the Ghana defence.

Tenacious football from the hosts, though.

'20:13

Rash tackle from Aniket!

​Almost cut the Ghana player in half.

Lucky to get away without a yellow card.

'20:10

Three off-sides in the opening ten minutes for Ghana.

They're starting to take control now.

India do well to clear away a corner.

'20:06

GHANA SCORE AN OFF-SIDE GOAL!

India have started the game with great intent, but a moment's lapse sees Ghana go clear out in the front.

The ball finds the back of the net. But luckily for India, it was off-side.

'20:04

End-to-end stuff to begin with in Delhi!

Aniket makes a sharp run down the flank, but over-cooks the cross.

Ghana counter-attack in no time, only to be thwarted by goal-keeper Dheeraj.

'20:01

Corner for India inside the first 15 seconds!

The ball was sent in dangerously, but there was no one to poke it in.

Bright start for the hosts!

'19:58

Right, we're about to kick-off in this final league game for India.

The hosts have an uphill task at their hands.

Can they pull off the impossible?

Here we go!

'19:54
