East Bengal defeated West Bengal Police 2-0 in the Kanyashree Cup 2022-23 tournament opener on Tuesday at the Rabindra Sarobar stadium, Kolkata. The win was important as the champions of the competition will get a ticket to the Indian Women's League.
In the 25th minute, it was Sulanjana Raul's tap-in which gave East Bengal the lead. Almost 50 minutes later at the 74th minute, substitutes Kabita Saren and Mousumi Murmu combined for the latter to double their lead.
Last year's semi-finalists in West Bengal Police couldn't threaten Rani Bhowmick's goal much as they failed to score even once.
