The Indian women’s team went down 1-4 against the USA U-23 in their last encounter of the WU23 3-Nations tournament played at the Larods IP, Helsingborg in Sweden on Saturday.

India created a flurry of chances and took the lead in the 8th minute, but the opponents picked up the win in the end, drawing level in the first half, before scoring three more on the other side of the lemon break.

The first half began with a bang for the Indian side as Pyari Xaxa found the back of the net in the 8th minute as she pulled the trigger from long range after being fed the ball by Manisha Kalyan.

However, the lead did not last long as Messiah Bright equalised about a minute later for USA.

As the match opened up, both sides created chances as Indian custodian Aditi Chauhan was forced into a sharp save 13 minutes into the game. Megan Bornkamp flicked a header inside the box and Aditi collected it easily.
