India Women’s Football Team Falls 0-4 to Russia in Kolkata Friendly
India's women's football team, ranked 69th, lost 0-4 to 27th-ranked Russia in the first of two international friendlies held at Kolkata's Kishore Bharati Krirangan. Despite a disciplined defensive effort and notable saves by goalkeeper Monalisha Devi Moirangthem, India conceded goals in the 41st, 60th, 65th, and 81st minutes. Head coach Crispin Chettri fielded a largely experimental squad, giving several players their international debuts amid an off-field dispute affecting player selection. The match marked India's first women's international game in Kolkata.
