International Friendly: Pyari Xaxa Finds The Back Of The Net Again As Blue Tigresses Hold Myanmar To A 1-1 Draw
Khin Mar Lar Tun: The Indian senior women's team was held 1-1 by Myanmar in their second and last friendly match against the hosts at the Thuwunna Stadium on Friday. In an improved performance from their 1-2 defeat on Tuesday, the Blue Tigresses dominated the first half in a rain-lashed kick-off but were kept at bay by a tight Myanmar defence and a waterlogged penalty area.
The deadlock was eventually broken in the 48th minute by Pyari Xaxa, who scored her second goal in as many games. However, Myanmar's all-time top-scorer Win Theingi Tun struck the equaliser just two minutes later. Although both sides created various chances to win the game, neither could find another goal and settled for the draw.
India head coach Langam Chaoba Devi made a solitary change in the line-up from three days ago, replacing Sandhiya Ranganathan with Karishma Shirvoikar. The 19-year-old Mousumi Murmu came on in the second half to make her senior India debut.
