we won 2-1

Riding on striker Sasmita Malik’s brace, Indian women defeated Bahrain 2-1 in their first International Friendly in Bahrain. Sasmita, the captain of the side scored her first goal as early as the 3rd minute of the match.
Spurred by the early goal, the Indians pressed hard and were eventually rewarded in the 35th minute when Sasmita scored her second goal of the match.
Hardly had the celebrations died, Bahrain managed to pull one back in the 36th minute. But the Indians didn’t allow their opponents to dictate terms and held onto their lead to win the match.
Coach Chief Coach Mohammad Shahid Jabbar credited the girls on the victory. “They have worked hard in the camp and deserve all the praise.”
An elated Sasmita declared, “It’s a wonderful feeling to score both the goals in an International Friendly. I want to thank all my teammates and coach for supporting me.”
India next play Bahrain on September 20. The third International Friendly is slated for September 23.
