San goal sees Myanmar edge India

Yangon: San Thaw Thaw produced a late effort to earn Myanmar a 2-1 win against India in an international women’s friendly at the Thuwunna Stadium on Tuesday.
Pyari Xaxa canceled out Win Theingi Tun’s first half opener before San hit the winner in the 74th minute to seal the win.

India, who finished runners-up to Kosovo in the 2024 Turkish Women's Cup in February, conceded in the 14th minute off Phyu Phyu Win’s corner. 

A mistake by goalkeeper Elangbam Panthoi Chanu left Win unmarked, allowing the Odisha FC forward to head the ball into an empty net.
India equalised in the 58th minute after Myanmar goalkeeper Myo Mya Mya Nyein failed to hold an effort from substitute Karishma Shirvoikar, allowing Xaxa to strike the ball into the roof of the net.

Myanmar, however, regained the lead in the 74th minute after San cooly converted past an onrushing Chanu, off May Thet Mon Myin free-kick.

India will aim to bounce back when the two sides meet again on Friday.
