India finally solved the riddle of their winless streak in 2023 when they outplayed and outclassed the Kyrgyz Republic 5-0 in the first of the two-legged tie in the Group G AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Round 1 on Tuesday, April 4.
After failing to win any of their five international engagements in the first three months of the calendar year, Thomas Dennerby’s wards broke the hoodoo in style at the Dolon Omurzakov Stadium as the hosts found their rampaging visitors too hot to handle.
The victory also strengthened India’s chances of moving on to the next round. They will hold a considerable advantage when the two teams meet again on Friday, April 7 in the second leg.
A double strike by Anju Tamang, a clinical volley from Soumya Guguloth in the first half and two more goals from Shikly Devi and Renu in the second half were enough for the girls to secure an emphatic win.
Watch the match highlights above!
INDIA WOMEN: Shreya Hooda – Sweety Devi, Manisa Panna, Ashalata Devi, Shilky Devi (Ritu Rani 89′), Soumya Guguloth (Dangmei Grace 66′), Anju Tamang (Karishma Shirvoikar 80′), Indumathi, Sandhiya Ranganathan (Renu 62′), Dalima Chhibber, Karthika Angamuthu ( Sangita Basfore 80′)
