Indian women's football team on Tuesday suffered a second narrow defeat at the hands of Uzbekistan, going down 0-1 in the second of two FIFA Women's International Friendlies here.

Despite an improved and spirited performance, the Blue Tigresses were undone by a moment of brilliance from Nilufar Kudratova early in the second half.

Tuesday's encounter, following the 0-1 loss in the first friendly, offered hope for redemption. And while India showed marked improvement - especially in their intensity and intent - the scoreline, unfortunately, remained the same.

In the end, they fell short but the performance was anything but disheartening.
