Indian Women’s League football | Sethu coasts past ARA

Kickstart runs riot against Sirvodem

Sethu FC powered its way to a 3-0 win over ARA FC which posed no threat at all in their Indian Women’s League football encounter here on Wednesday.

While ARA managed to keep Sethu at bay in the first half, it was helpess in the second as Sandhiya and Renu got on the scoresheet for the winning side while Poonam bundled it into her own net.

Sandhiya opened the scoring in the 50th minute. She got the ball outside the box, and curled it with her left foot straight to the top right corner of the net.

Nine minutes later Renu doubled the lead with a powerful header from Anju’s cross following Karthika’s corner kick.

Earlier, Kickstart maintained its winning streak as it handed Sirvodem a second consecutive defeat with a 7-0 drubbing at the Capital Ground. 

The Karnataka-based side made a quick start scoring three goals within the first quarter of the game.

Winger Kaviya opened the floodgates in the sixth minute, followed by an own goal from Sirvodem defender Sharda a couple of minutes later. The Kaviya’s inch-perfect cross in the 12th minute was finely tapped in by Kiranbala.
