ISLAMABAD: Pakistan were beaten by India 2-5 in the opening match of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024 at the Dasharath Stadium (Nepal).
India’s Grace Dangmei provided a solid start to her team, netting two goals, while she was ably supported by teammates Manisha, Bala Devi and Jyoti Chauhan by contributing one goal each for India.
Pakistan women, however, did not go down without a fight. Suha Hirani scored the team’s first goal in the extra time of the first half, igniting hopes of a comeback. Just after the break, Kayla Siddiqui added another goal to the team’s tally in the 47th minute, reducing the deficit to 2-5.
The women in green couldn’t convert more goals and lost the opener with a margin of 2-5. Pakistan will now take on Bangladesh on October 20 in their second match.
