It's a dream come true, says Manisha after scoring against mighty Brazil
The HinduManisha Kalyan achieved the unthinkable on Friday when she scored the Indian women's football team's lone goal in the 6-1 loss to mighty Brazil in a friendly game in Manaus. Manisha received the ball from Pyari Xaxa in midfield and made a surging run, before slotting the ball past Brazil 'keeper Leticia. "It was a dream come true for me to play against Brazil and to score against them was the icing on the cake," said Manisha, who, after the match, posed for pictures with Brazil’s legendary midfielder Formiga Mota, who was felicitated by all parties present at the Arena da Amazonia after the game as she hung up her boots. The first time Manisha came into the National Team fold was in ahead of the BRICS U-17 Women’s Football Cup in South Africa, and the powerful attacker has never looked back from there.
