Sethu FC best FC Kolhapur City, SAI-STC Cuttack bounce back against Baroda academy
Sethu FC demolished FC Kolhapur City 9-0 while SAI-STC Cuttack bounced back with a convincing 4-0 win over Baroda Football Academy in the Indian Women's League (IWL) here Sunday.
Sethu FC's Sabitra Bhandari and Ratanbala Devi scored a hat-trick each at the Guru Nanak Stadium.
Sethu were dominant from the start, and it took them all of four minutes to break the deadlock, as Dangmei Grace finished off a quick move.
A little over a quarter of an hour later, the India international netted again, this time, from the penalty spot. Just four minutes later, Dangmei's India teammate Ratanbala scored two in quick succession to make the scoreline 4-0 in Sethu's favour, even before the half-hour mark.
Kolhapur defender Jabamani Tudu added an own goal from a cross by Ratanbala on the stroke of half time.
Sethu's Nepal international joined the act in the second half, scoring a hat-trick in 20 minutes, starting with a 57th minute goal that ended with a Cristiano Ronaldo-like celebration.
