Pakistan’s women’s football team made a big comeback by defeating Indonesia 2-0 in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers. This was their first win since September 2023 and a proud moment for the team and its fans.
The match, held in Indonesia, started off strong for Pakistan. Nadia Khan gave Pakistan an early lead by scoring in the 8th minute. Later in the game, Suha Irani scored from a penalty, giving the team a comfortable two-goal advantage.
Throughout the match, Indonesia tried to bounce back, but Pakistan’s goalkeeper Zeeyana Jivraj made sure her team kept a clean sheet by stopping every shot that came her way.
This victory was especially impressive because Pakistan, currently ranked 157th in the world, defeated Indonesia, who are ranked much higher at 95th. The win has now moved Pakistan to third place in Group D of the qualifiers.
Pakistan had started the tournament with a tough loss to Chinese Taipei, but this win has given the team new energy and confidence. Their next match is against the Kyrgyz Republic on July 5, and fans are hopeful that the team will carry this momentum forward.
The victory not only improves their chances in the tournament but also shines a light on the growing talent in women’s football in Pakistan. It’s a big step forward for the team, showing that with hard work and determination, they can compete and win on the international stage.
