Second-half Blitz Sees India Storm Into SAFF U19 Women's Final
South Asian Football Federation: India booked their spot in the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) U-19 Women’s Championship final after defeating Nepal 4-0 in their concluding round-robin match at the BSSSMK Stadium here on Tuesday.
India will now cross swords with hosts and defending champions Bangladesh in the final to be played on Thursday. The Young Tigresses had earlier won their first match 10-0 against Bhutan, followed by a 0-1 defeat against Bangladesh.
After a goalless first half, Indian girls dished out a rousing display in the second session to slam in four goals. With the Indian forward line of Neha, Sibani Devi and Sulanjana Raul ripping open the rival defence at repeated intervals, Nepal were reduced to playing the second fiddle.
