Indian Women’s side Trashed Nepal by 10-0
The India U15 Women’s side scored five goals in each half as they thumped Nepal 10-0 in a totally one-sided group encounter of the ongoing SAFF U-15 Women’s Championship being held at Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Hattricks by Priyanka
Devi and Sunita Munda was complimented by a brace from Lynda Kom, with goals
from Santhiya and Anay Bayi completing the rout.
Lynda Kom had opened the
scoring in the 4th minute as India went on to pile the pressure on their
northern neighbours. But the scoreline didn’t reflect the dominance until Lynda
opened the floodgate with her second strike in the 32nd minute.
The final third half of
the first half saw three more goals being pumped into the Nepal net as Sunita
Munda, Santhiya and Priyanka Devi etched their names on the scoresheet with
goals in the 33rd, 40th and 43rd minute respectively. Nepal had a chance of
their own but they missed their penalty opportunity as the teams went 5-0 into
half time.
Contrary to expectations
India didn’t let the foot off the pedal in the second half as Priyanka got her
second of the day in 53rd minute before Sunita too did same in the 62nd minute.
Anay Bayi became the
fifth Indian on the scoresheet with her strike in 69th minute as the Nepali
shoulders dropped and India strolled around with the ball.
After few attempts,
Priyanka finally scored again in the 76th minute to complete her hattrick
before Sunita rounded off the scoreline with her own three-peat in the 86th
minute.
India next face
Bangladesh on December 21 in their final group encounter.
