The Indian players sitting in the dugout waited with bated breath as Manisha Kalyan advanced on the left-wing and put in a cross for Pyari Xaxa. The striker made an attempt, but toe-poked the ball just wide of the post.

India maintained dominance, had better ball possession and also created several opportunities, but the efforts were not enough as the team failed to put the ball in the net.
