Turkish Women's Cup: India Women Beat Hong Kong 2-0, A Match Away From Title
The Blue Tigresses: Anju Tamang and Soumya Guguloth scored a goal each as the India senior women's national team defeated Hong Kong 2-0 in the Turkish Women's Cup 2024, taking a step towards winning their first-ever international title outside the South Asian circuit. The victory on Saturday at the Gold City complex in Alanya, Turkey, was India's second in the four-nation tournament.
India have previously won the SAFF Cup five times and the SAF Games gold medal on three occasions, but never could bag an international championship that has two European teams in the fray. In the first match of the tournament, India defeated Estonia 4-3.
Anju Tamang scored India's first goal in the 19th minute while Soumya Guguloth struck the second in the 79th minute to secure three points for India. The Blue Tigresses now have six points from their two games and will cross swords with Kosovo in their final round-robin tie on Tuesday, which could virtually be called the final.
