LAHORE, Sept 8: Faisalabad Yellows outclassed their sister team Whites 2-0 to win the 19th national Under-18 football championship final, which was being played under floodlights at the Model Town ground here on Saturday.

The winners scored both goals in the second half of the match after a goal-less first half, to earn the title after 17 years. Faisalabad had last won in 1990 when they defeated Lahore. They now join Army and Dhaka as two-time champions of the event.

Striker Adnan Butt put Yellows in the lead in the 53rd minute when he pounced on a rebound to beat the Whites
