8' GOAL! India Takes the Lead in Chiang Mai!

India strikes first! A beautifully worked move sees the breakthrough in style. Soumya Guguloth whipped in a pinpoint cross from the left flank after beating her marker with a clever touch.

Timing her run perfectly into the box, Sangita Basfore (No. 6) rose above her defender and met it with a thumping header that rocketed into the top right corner of the net — no chance for Zambaga Tumurbat to stop that one.

A dream start for the Blue Tigresses, 1-0 India!
