India U-15 girls booked their spot in the final of the SAFF U-15 Women’s Championship at the Chalimithang Stadium in Thimphu on Friday (October 11, 2019) as they beat hosts Bhutan 10-1. Sai Sankhae scored a second-half hat-trick and Lynda Kom Serto, Sumati Kumari and Kiran scored a brace each, while Priyanka Sujeesh scored one to make it 10. [KH_ADWORDS type="3" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] India started off on the front foot as Amisha found some space on the right flank, advanced into the box and squared it to Priyanka Sujeesh, who planted it in the far bottom corner. Bhutan equalised almost immediately via a goalmouth scrap through Sangay Wangmo, but Kiran restored the lead on the quarter-hour mark as she knuckled a swerving shot into the top corner. Lynda finished off a fine move before Kiran and Sumati added two more as the Indian team headed into the tunnel with a 5-1 lead a half-time. India came out with the same intensity in the second half as Lynda scored her second goal of the game to make it six. After that, it was the Sai Sankhae show as the substitute netted three goals in nine minutes, to take India’s tally to nine before Sumati added the 10th with around five minutes to go.
