Indian Women in disappointing collapse against heavyweights Brazil
This is the third straight defeat for the girls in the tournament being held in South Africa.
The Indian U-17 Women’s National Team currently participating in the BRICS U-17 Football Tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa lost 0-5 against Brazil today (July 21, 2018).
Although the Indian eves started the match on an attacking note and cajoled chances, it was Brazil with a splendid performance in the second half that ran out eventual winners, scoring four goals in the latter half of the match.
But India had a good chance to go ahead in the 8th minute when Soumya Guguloth burst onto the goal and with only the opposition custodian to beat, she slotted wide of the goal.
Indian custodian Archana kept the Indian eves in the game for much of the first half but the Indian citadel conceded in the 40th minute as Brazil took the lead. The half-time scoreline read 1-0 in Brazil’s favor.
