Gangte doubled the margin in the 59th minute of the match.
After one minute, Mirazul Islam of Bangladesh reduced the margin by a penalty kick.
After scoring the goal, Bangladeshi youths tried to break the defence of India but they failed to do that. Thus, Bangladesh bade good-bye to the SAFF Under-17 Championship.
Earlier, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by 5-1 goals in their first Group-A match and blanked Maldives by five goals to nil in their second Group-B match. Bangladesh became the unbeaten Group-A champions and reached the semi-final.
