RSC won 5-4 from the spot after the two teams could not be seperated in open play.

Rising Student’s Club were crowned champions of the second edition of the Hero Indian Women’s League after the Sukla Dutta coached side defeated Eastern Sporting Union 5-4 on penalties after the full-time scoreline read 1-1 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, Meghalaya today (April 14, 2018).

Rising Student’s Club started the match on an attacking note and in the 3rd minute, a scramble from inside the box led Ngoubi Devi to shoot wide of goal. Undeterred by the early pressure, ESU staged attacks of their own and in the 13th minute, Roja Devi found the back of the net from outside the box as her shot left the opposition goalkeeper wrong-footed.

In the 19th minute, Mandakini Devi’s attempt from a tight angle inside the box hit the side-netting as ESU pressed to double their lead. Supriya Routray had a chance to equalize proceedings for Rising Student’s Club in the 40th minute after a corner kick found her free of any marking player, but her shot went wide of the goal.
