National Football Championship: Haryana beat hosts Bengal 4-3 on penalties in the second semifinal of the 28th Senior Women’s National Football Championship for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Monday.

After a goalless 120 minutes, Haryana's Shreya Hooda made a fine save, before Dular Marandi hit the post for Bengal to seal the result. Haryana are now through to their second consecutive Senior Women's NFC final and will hope to better their runners-up finish from last year.

Ravi Kumar Punia's side will face Manipur in the final on May 15, who defeated defending champions Tamil Nadu 2-0 earlier on Monday. Sibani Devi and Bala Devi scored for Manipur.
