Turkish Women’s Cup: Manisha Steals The Thunder In Closely-fought Estonia Battle
Gold City Sports Complex: India withstood firmly a late charge by Estonia to pick up a hard-fought 4-3 win in the Turkish Women’s Cup. The teams were locked 1-1 at halftime.
In the process, the Chaoba Devi-coached side also created a piece of history as the Indian senior women’s team had never before triumphed over a team from the UEFA confederation in an official outing. Three times before this, India played Belarus, Ukraine and Romania, only to end up on the losing side.
Played at the picturesque Gold City Sports Complex in Alanya, Turkey, the Blue Tigresses made a picture-perfect start when they shot into the lead in the 17th minute through a Manisha Kalyan goal. After Estonia drew level in the 32nd minute off a goal by Lisette Tammik, a rampaging India struck thrice through Indumathi Kathiresan (62’), Pyari Xaxa (79'), and Manisha (81’) again to take a commanding 4-1 lead.
