India U-17 women's team beats Romania 1-0 in second friendly match

The Indian U-17 women's team registered a 1-0 victory over Romania in its second friendly match in Turkler, Turkey on Wednesday.

Priyangka Devi scored the only goal of the match in the 29th minute from a penalty.

The first friendly match had ended 3-3 draw on Sunday.

The first half began with the Indian side pressing hard to seize the initiative. Sumati Kumari, who had scored India's third goal in the previous match, came close to finding the target in the 12th minute but she was adjudged offside.

Two minutes later, Sunita Munda sent a dangerous cross from the flank after beating her marker. However, it was collected by the Romanian custodian.

India earned a couple of free-kicks in good positions and it was a set-piece opportunity in the 28th minute when Nirmala Devi saw her shot being saved by the opposition keeper.

However, a minute later, the Indian side took the lead through Priyangka Devi -- who made no mistake from the 12-yard spot and slotted the ball into the net calmly.
