India beat Belgium 2-1 to clinch Junior Hockey World Cup

But it was too little too late as India become the first team in history to win the Junior Hockey World Cup as the hosts.

The visitors earned 2 back-to-back penalty corners after the clock had run out. The second of which they managed to convert.

Remarkable scenes at the end there with Belgium scoring a goal to make it 2-1.

The young guns have made done it!

India win!

But as has been the case all night, it wasn't to be for them.

'67 With 3 minutes remaining, Belgium come agonisingly close to scoring.

India on the verge of creating history!

The crowd is gearing up for a big celebration.

Can Belgium make a stunning comeback?

Final five minutes left in the contest.

The youngster does brilliantly to get a one-on-one chance, but the Belgium goalkeeper makes a heroic save to keep the contest alive.

'59 What a wasted chance for Gurjant Singh!

No one-way traffic by the Indians anymore.

Definitely a much-improved performance by Belgium in the second half.

But the Indians do just enough to take care of the assault.

Some quick passing inside the box leads to a great chance for them to make it 2-1.

'54 First shot on target for Belgium!

Waste yet another penalty corner.

'50 Sloppy stuff there from the Indians. Take too long to get a shot away.

Can the young guns make it 3-0?

'48 Penalty corner for India!

But they will need to do more than that to create a real in-road against India's tight defence.

'46 Belgium enjoyed a good spell of possession there. Moved the ball around from side to side with ease.

They have lifted the trophy once earlier, and it looks like they're going to repeat history tonight.

This is the third time India are contesting in the Final of the Junior Hockey World Cup.

Indian boys holding the possession well with some accurate passing.

And the second half is under way!

'32 Belgium are finally able to earn a penalty corner.

Such has been India's dominance.

Very promising signs for Indian Hockey.

The Indian boys are showing their absolute superiority.

Simranjeet Singh puts India well and truly in command of the contest.

'23 And it's goal No. 2 for India!

Absolutely top-class stuff!

Gurjant Singh's strike was probably the best in the World Cup so far.

Keep up the attack near the Indian goal with some slick passing.

Harjeet Singh's boys are giving it their all for a second goal.

'7 Yet another penalty corner for India, yet another lost chance!

A great start nonetheless.

5' India mess-up the penalty corner, unable to get a shot away.

Should be a thrilling contest.

And we are underway in the final of the Junior Hockey World Cup!

The entire stadium in Lucknow stands as the Indian National Anthem plays.

What a moment for the Indian Under-21 side!
