KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's hopes of qualifying for the 2027 U-17 Women's Asian Cup final round were dashed after a 4-0 defeat to India in their final Group E match at the Selayang Municipal Council Stadium today.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's hopes of a historic run at the 2027 Under-17 women's Asian Cup finals in China were dashed on Sunday after a 4-0 loss to India in a Group E match at Selayang Stadium. The Young Tigresses held a six-point lead over Malaysia, thanks to their superior goal difference of +16 compared to Malaysia's +5. Earlier in the group stage, Malaysia had secured victories over Syria 1-0 and Iraq 4-0.
India took the lead in the 28th minute through midfielder Redima Devi Chingkhamayum, followed by a goal just five minutes later from substitute Pritika Barman. Despite Malaysia's efforts, India sealed the match with a spectacular long-range goal in the 56th minute from Anushka Kumari, who put the ball past Malaysian goalkeeper Putri Aina Husna Mohd Subri.
In the 87th minute, substitute Nidhi Pawan Kumar scored a stunning solo goal, beating two defenders before rounding Putri Aina to score the fourth goal into an empty net.
