Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground: Manipur consolidated their position at the top of Group A after beating Odisha 2-0 and Tamil Nadu registered their first win against Maharashtra by 4-1 in Group A of the Final Round of the 29th Senior Women's National Football Championship for the Rajmata Jijabai Trophy 2024-25, at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Saturday.

With this win, Manipur moved to the top of Group A with six points from two matches. Odisha too have six points, but from three matches. However, Tamil Nadu with three points under their belt now are in the reckoning for a spot in the semi-final and their match against Odisha could be an interesting battle.

In the 58th minute, Dangmei Grace delivered the ball to Shilky on the left, whose silky finish left Odisha goalkeeper Sasmita Parida stranded. Grace played the provider once more in the 78th minute, assisting Bibicha Devi from the edge of the box. Bibicha skillfully placed her shot past the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner of the net.
