Bhubaneswar: Gurjit Kaur's brace ensured an inspired Indian women's team beat USA 5-1 at the Kalinga Stadium in the first of the double legged Tokyo Olympics Qualifier yesterday.

Gurjit, 23, who hails from Amritsar, Punjab, however, refused to take things for granted despite the big end. "Yes, this is a giant leap and we all are happy with the way we won this match but there is a return match tomorrow and only after that will we be assured of a place at the Tokyo Olympics," she said.
