Garhwal United captain Sanfida Nongrum (56’, 68’) netted a brace to hand the three points to her side.
The first half, though evenly contested, saw Garhwal United create more opportunities, though a few brilliant saves by Arrows goalkeeper Munni, maintained status quo.
Garhwal captain Sanfida tried her luck in the 18th minute, a vicious shot from distance that a diving Munni palmed out of play.
Arrows captain Julan Nongmaithem responded by playing Anita Dungdung through into the Garhwal box, but goalkeeper Ribansi Jamu rushed out to whip the ball away with her feet.
The Garhwal forwards kept Munni busy beneath the Arrows goal, as she snatched the ball off from Lhingdeikim’s feet, before making another save, this time, from a shot by Fragrancy Riwan. Garhwal came closest to scoring in the 35th minute, when Deepika Pal pulled the trigger from outside the box, and this time, Munni was nowhere near to make the save. However, the upright came to her rescue, as the ball ricochetted out of play.
Garhwal United started the second half with the same intent, and were soon in the lead. Sanfida, in the 56th minute, pulled the trigger from long range to score the first goal of the game.
In the 68th minute, she broke free down the left, checked inside, and produced a curling effort into the top corner, doubling her side’s lead.
