India wasted no time in seizing control of the match. With a strong crowd cheering them on, Grace Dangmei opened the scoring in just the fifth minute, converting a cross from an overlapping Ranjana Chanu with a smooth strike from outside the box.

This goal set the tone for India’s relentless attack. In the 17th minute, Bala Devi's clever through pass found Manisha, who calmly beat Pakistan’s goalkeeper, Nisha Ashraf, with a sharp left-footer to make it 2-0.
