The 18-year-old was a cut above the rest and finshed top-scorer of the Elite League with 20 goals ...
Odisha FC U18 striker Akshunna Tyagi became the talk of the town after an incredible season in the All India Football Federation (AIFF) Elite League. The 18-year-old scored 20 of the 45 goals Odisha scored in just 14 games, with his partner on the wing Rishabh Dobriyal adding another 18. The rest of the team could only contribute seven goals.
This incredible prolificacy in front of goal helped his side finish second in the Delhi-Jaipur-Punjab zone and qualify for the final round which was not completed owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.
