SAFF Women's Cup: India beat Nepal 3-1, defend title!

Defending champions India retained their title by defeating Nepal 3-1 in the final of the 2012 SAFF Women's Championship at the CR&FC Place ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Nepal took a surprise third minute lead through a Dipa Adhikari strike off a Anu Lama pass, but favourites India weren't shocked and equalised only five minutes later through a Supriya Routray goal. Thereafter it was an open game with better chances for India, but it remained one-all at the break as the Nepal defence was able to fend off the Indian attackers.

Nepal came out as the better team after the break, but they couldn't score of their chances and after about 10 minutes India took control of the game but missed a few chances before captain Oinam Bembem Devi put India ahead in the 66th minute. It remained an open game thereafter as Nepal missed a couple of chances, but India secured their victory with a goal from midfielder Yumnam Kamala Devi in the 83rd minute to make it 3-1.

In the end the Indian Women won 3-1 to win the 2nd edition of the SAFF Women's Championship and continue to dominate women's football in South Asia, but Nepal played a good match and tournament to pose a challenge to our Indian Women.

SAFF Women's Cup: India look to retain title today

Defending champions India are looking to retain their SAFF Women's Championship title when they face neighbours Nepal this afternoon at the CR&FC grounds in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Anything but an Indian victory would be an upset as our Women are currently far superior then the rest of the South Asian region, but arrogance should be avoided.

After a slow start India has been on fire in the tournament beating Bangladesh (3-0), hosts Sri Lanka (5-0) and Bhutan (11-0) in the group stage before Afghanistan (11-0) in the semifinals. India has scored an impressive 30 goals with no goals conceded so far.

India were tested a little in their opener against Bangladesh, but thereafter the team led by Oinam Bembem Devi has been impressive in their display and they could have scored even more goals.

Nepal are hoping to score an upset by defeating India in the final. And the Nepali Women have had a good tournament of their own, the question is if they can challenge India and maybe get an early goal to upset their more famed rivals.

But coach Mohammed Shahid Jabbar is careful as he praised Nepal ahead of the final especially their hard working midfield and strikers, but also mentioned that Nepal does seem a little weak in defence which India will seek to utilise.

Coach Jabbar will surely prepare his team for the challenge ahead and one hopes that at the end India will lift their second SAFF Women's Cup title to maintain their unrivaled dominance in the South Asian region.

SAFF Women's Cup: India trash Afghanistan 11-0, reach finals!

Defending champions India scored their second 11-0 victory win in a row, this time against Afghanistan in the semifinals of the 2012 SAFF Women's Championship at the Longden Place ground in Colombo. India now await the winner of the Sri Lanka vs Nepal second semifinal to play on Sunday in the final.

India made a perfect start as Yumnam Kamala Devi fired them ahead in the 5th minute. As expected India were in control but they only scored their second in the 31st minute through Irom Prameshwori Devi and it was Prameshwori who set-up captain Oinam Bembem Devi to score India's third in the 40th minute. Only a couple of minutes later Sasmita Malik made it 4-0 and it remained so until the break.

India made a quite start into the second session, but then found their scoring boots again as they scored three goals in four minutes. First it was Yumnam Kamala Devi in the 57th minute, then Ashem Romi Devi in the 59th minute and against captain Oinam Bembem Devi to make it 7-0.

But it wasn't over for the Afghani women as India would add four more in the remaining 20 minutes. First captain Oinam Bembem Devi would score her third in the 70th minute, then Sasmita Malik her second of the day in the 78th minute before Pinky Bompal Magar joined the party by scoring India's 10th in the 81st minute. The final goal came in the 90th minute through Yumnam Kamala Devi, who had also scored India's first.

In the end it was another 11-0 win for India, who rather easily reached their second SAFF Women's Cup final and now have scored 30 goals in only four matches, conceding none.

Bhutan were no match for India, but it took 13 minutes to take the lead which Tuli Goon scored off a cross which beats the keeper and goes into the goal. 10 minutes later midfielder Yumnam Kamala Devi doubled the score with an effort from outside the box. In the 27th minute Sasmita Mallick scored from a penalty and only three minutes later Yumnam Kamala Devi made it 4-0. In the 38th minute Pinky Bompal Magar would get her first before Irom Prameshwori Devi added India's sixth in the 42nd minute. It remained 6-0 at the break.

And it didn't get any better for Bhutan as india went on to score five more after the break. In thr 49th minute Pinky Bompal Magar scored her second of the day before India went on to score three goals in two minutes. Nameirakpam Montesori Chanu started it in the 63rd minute, Irom Prameshwori Devi scored her second a minute later and Pinky Bompal Magar scored her third of the day less then sixty seconds later.

Now Bhutan were heading for a very heavy defeat as the Himalayan nation were 10 goals down, but India went on to score only one more in the remaining 25 minutes though having more chances to score. The final goal was scored by Supriya Routray in the 73rd minute.

It ended 11-0 for India, who in the end easily top Group A and now await who they face in the semifinals.

Defending champions India continued their winning run in the 2012 SAFF Women's Championship with a 5-0 trashing of hosts Sri Lanka at the Longden Place ground in Colombo.

As expected India were the better side on display, but they today needed time to settle down before a Suprava Samal strike gave them a 17th minute lead. Only six minutes later Salam Rinaroy Devi doubled the lead with a powerful shot from outside the box. It stayed 2-0 for India though they had more chances to score.

After the break India would go on to score three goals within fives minutes to seal the match in their favour. First Salam Rinaroy Devi scored her second of the day off a mistake in the Sri Lankan defence in the 51st minute, then Pinky Bompal Magar made it 4-0 two minutes later of another Sri Lankan mistake and then substitute Irom Prameshwori Devi scored India's fifth with just 56 minutes on the clock.

Thereafter India did have chances to score more, but they failed in their attempts as the match also slowed down with the outcome already clear in favour of the Indian Women's team. It ended 5-0 for India, who on Tuesday take on Bhutan in their third and final Group A match.
