India crush Pakistan 3-0 at SAFF Women’s Championship

Defending champions India got off to a winning start at the 2022 SAFF Women’s Championship as they beat Pakistan 3-0 in their opening match at Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu on Wednesday.

While an own goal from Pakistan captain Maria Jamil Khan broke the deadlock in the first half, goals from Dangmei Grace and Soumya Gaguloth rounded up the match for the Blue



Tigress.

Deep into the added time in the second half, Pakistan were unable to control another low cross from the left hand side that fell right in the area for Soumya Gaguloth, whose left footed strike was enough to make it 3-0.

Both the teams will now feature on Saturday, September 10 as India play Maldives and Pakistan face Bangladesh.
