Indian U-20 Women's defeated Indonesia convincingly in their second match in Group F of the 2024 AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers Round 1. The women in blue netted six past their opponents and conceded none.
It was speedy winger Neha who set the tempo with a brace in the first half, with Kajol D'Souza adding her thumping strike to the goal tally.
Apurna Narzary, the star of the first game, joined the act with a headed goal in the second half, before substitute Sumati Kumari showed composure and scored a brace.
As it happened:
The referee blows the whistle as another dominant display from Maymol Rocky's team comes to an end.
FT: IND 6-0 INA
What a calm finish from Kumari! It's Kajol once again with a beautiful through ball to put Sumati through on goal, who slots it past the goalie.
IND 6-0 INA
Brilliant dropping of the shoulder from Kajol to make space for herself but her shot is just above the crossbar.
Kajol whips in an inch-perfect cross inside the box for substitute Sumati Kumari to volley in the top right corner!
IND 5-0 INA
Anita Kumari had another good chance to add to India's goal tally but her shot is straight at the goalie.
The goalkeeper saves a shot from an Indian player from the edge of the box but the rebound falls to Apurna who taps it in. However, the lineswoman calls it offside.
The women in blue are now taking shots for fun at the Indonesian goal.
The young winger couldn't complete her hattrick as she's taken off to make way for Sumati Kumari.
Apurna was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and had oodles of time to pick her spot but she couldn't convert the chance and get her second.
