Gorette da costa

Asian Cup Qualifiers: The Indian senior women’s team continued their emphatic run in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers with a commanding 4-0 victory against Timor-Leste at the 700th Anniversary Stadium in Chiang Mai on Sunday.

Winger Manisha Kalyan (12’, 80’) scored a brilliant brace, while Anju Tamang (58’) and Lynda Kom Serto (86’) added their names to the scoresheet in a one-sided contest that saw India dominate from start to finish.

With the win, India now sit atop Group B with six points from two games, ahead of Iraq and Thailand, who are set to face each other later in the day. The top spot in the five-team group remains up for grabs, but India have certainly staked a strong claim with back-to-back dominant displays.
