Bala Devi struck four goals to power the Indian women's football team to a dominating 7-1 win over Bangladesh in their second match of the 2020 AFC Olympic qualifiers here on Sunday. Besides Bala Devi, Kamala Devi produced a brace and Sanju scored once as India left behind the disappointment of the draw against Nepal. The first half started off evenly but after the opening goal from India, it became a one-sided affair as an eight-minute blitz featuring three goals completely left the Bangladeshi players shell-shocked at the Thuwunna Stadium.

It was coach Maymol Rocky's side that created the first chance of the match with Ratanbala Devi's effort from the top of the box going wide in the fifth minute. Six minutes later, Bangladesh forward Mosammat looked to be through on goal but Dalima Chhibber produced an inch-perfect tackle inside her own box to remove the danger. Having played out a draw against Nepal in their first match, the Indian team was looking to respond in style and 16 minutes into the contest, they opened the scoring from the spot.
