The Indian U-19 Women’s team progressed to the final of the SAFF U-19 Women’s Championship 2021 after defeating Nepal 1-0 in their last group stage match today (Sunday, December 19, 2021) at the Bir Shreshtha Shaheed Shipahi Mostafa Kamal Stadium, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Priyanka Devi scored the match winner in the 66th minute. India Head Coach Alex Ambrose made two changes to his starting XI from their last game against Bangladesh -- Nitu Linda and Lynda Kom coming in place of Kritina Devi and Santosh, respectively. It was India, who seized the initiative early, but they failed to capitalise on their chances. Captain Shilky Devi floated a ball from the left in the 19th minute, passed it to Sumati who missed an open chance to find the back of the net. India's combination play threatened the Nepal backline since the start. A ball was played over the top and Lynda Kom chased it down in the 25’ minute. She put in a cross towards Sumati which was directed towards the goal but Nepal goal
