The Indian team is not up to the mark technically, coach Thomas Dennerby on Saturday concluded after his side bowed out of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with back-to-back losses.

Hosts India conceded three goals in the second half to suffer a humiliating 0-3 defeat to Morocco in their second Group A match and crash out of the tournament here on Friday.

Before the loss to Morocco, India were thrashed 8-0 by the USA in their opener, with Brazil awaiting the hosts in their last match.

"I am proud of my girls for their performance yesterday [Friday] but not very happy with the result at the end. But they gave it all on the pitch," said Dennerby.

"I know we are out of the tournament but still I am happy about the way my girls fought till the end. Our fitness level wasn't a problem. But we are not up to the mark technically. This is one area where we need to work harder," he pointed out.
