From the onset, India displayed exceptional skill and strategy. Within just seven minutes, Pooja Sahu netted the first goal, giving India an early lead of 1-0. Roshni Aind quickly followed, doubling the score just two minutes later.
The relentless attacking play continued, putting immense pressure on the Pakistani defense. In the following five minutes, India scored four more goals, with Tanushree Dinesh Kadu, Sukveer Kaur, and Sanika Chandrakant Mane all contributing to the scoreline.
Madhu Sidar and Geeta Yadav also found the back of the net, while Sanika Mane scored her second goal in the 23rd minute, solidifying India’s commanding position.
