AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers: India qualifies for Asian Cup- Highlights
51’ Promising move fizzles out!
Remi Thokchom launches a throw-in from the right, finding Pooja, who swings in a cross towards the box. The delivery has height but drifts straight into the waiting gloves of Myanmar keeper Thu Zar Aung.
46’ Second half underway!
India restarts the action, knocking the ball around confidently as they look to build on their first-half lead.
HT- India lead at the break!
A first-half goal from Pooja separates the sides in this tense qualifier. The Young Tigresses have looked sharper in attack since the goal, while Myanmar pushed late but couldn’t find a way past Monalisha Devi. All to play for in the second half.
45’ Side-netting spares India!
A handball just outside the box gifts Myanmar a dangerous free-kick. Daisy Aung curls it with intent, but the effort smacks into the side-netting. Two minutes of added time to play in this first half.
43’ Hosts press before the break!
Myanmar are throwing numbers forward in search of a leveller, working the flanks and pumping balls into the box. India’s defence holds firm, looking to take their slender lead into halftime.
39’ Comfortable stop for Monalisha!
Sandar Lin bursts forward on the left for Myanmar and tries her luck from distance. The strike has power but is straight at Monalisha Devi, who gathers cleanly to keep India in control.
35’ India turn up the heat!
Buoyed by the opener, the Young Tigresses are swarming forward with confidence, pressing high and pinning Myanmar back. The hosts look hesitant in possession, struggling to match India’s pace and intensity as the crowd grows restless.
27’ India strike first in Yangon!
Neha ghosts in at the far post to collect a deep cross from the right, sliding it into the box. The Myanmar keeper fumbles under pressure, and Pooja reacts quickest, rising to nod the loose ball into the net and put the Young Tigresses ahead.
22' WHAT A SAVE!
Monalisha Devi dives full stretch to her right, parrying away a thunderous long-range strike from Daisy Aung. The Myanmar midfielder caught it sweetly from outside the box, but the Indian goalkeeper’s sharp reflexes preserve the clean sheet.
Home crowd in full voice!
The Myanmar fans are relentless, drums echoing around the stadium and chants rolling like waves, pushing their team forward with every touch.
