Telangana’s woes continue, lets in 21 goals
The Hindu
Nisha and Deepika net seven goals each
Telangana did one better on Wednesday. After letting in 20 goals from Tamil Nadu in its first match at the National senior women’s football championship, it slid to a 0-21 defeat to Punjab at the Medical College ground here.
Remarkably, Telangana did not concede a goal till the 11th minute. Once Neha Mann struck, the floodgates were opened. Nisha and Deepika netted seven goals apiece, while Asha Kumari scored four.
Later in the day, in a much more evenly contested encounter, Tamil Nadu and Bengal drew 1-1. Sandhiya put Tamil Nadu ahead in the 20th minute with her ninth goal of the tournament — she is the top-scorer — before Sumitra Marandi equalised in the 45th.
