Pakistan’s women’s football team made a remarkable comeback with a 2-0 win against host Indonesia in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers. This was their first victory since September 2023, making it a historic moment for the team.
The match started strong, with Nadia Khan scoring in just the 8th minute, giving Pakistan an early lead. Later in the game, Suha Irani doubled the score with a successful penalty kick. Despite several attacks from Indonesia, goalkeeper Zeeyana Jivraj ensured Pakistan kept a clean sheet with her solid performance.
This win is especially significant as Pakistan is currently ranked 157th in the world, while Indonesia holds the 95th position. Beating a higher-ranked team helped Pakistan climb to third place in Group D.
The win has lifted team morale after a tough opening match against Chinese Taipei, where Pakistan suffered a heavy loss. Their next match is scheduled against Kyrgyz Republic on July 5.
The victory has not only boosted the team’s confidence but also given fans hope for better results in upcoming matches. It’s a proud moment for women’s football in Pakistan, showing the team’s growing strength and determination on the international stage.
