Priyangka Scores as Indian Women's Football Team Defeat Egypt in Friendly
The QuintBefore the opposition could settle into the game, a sudden strike by Priyangka in the 30th minute gave India the lead. The second half was played out on similar lines with India creating more opportunities, as head coach Thomas Dennerby made his first change at the restart, replacing forward Renu with Pyari Xaxa. A couple of more substitutions followed as Sandhiya came in place of Anju Tamang, and Soumya and Ratanbala were introduced in place of Grace and Priyangka Devi, respectively. Egypt captain Engy Ahmed Sayed tried her luck from close range before the hour mark, but Sowmiya stood tall to deny her. India XI: Sowmiya Narayanasamy ; Dalima Chhibber, Sweety Devi, Ashalata Devi, Dangmei Grace, Manisha, Renu, Anju Tamang, Priyangka Devi, Sanju, Martina Thokchom.
