U20 Women’s Asian Cup: Young Tigresses Lose To Japan In Opener
AFC U20 Women: The Indian U20 women’s national team suffered a 0-6 defeat at the hands of Japan in their opening match of the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup Thailand 2026 at the Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand, on Thursday. The Young Nadeshiko led 1-0 at half-time.
Six-time champions Japan got the lead early on through an own goal by Thoibisana Chanu Toijam (12’ og). However, it was not until the second half that they really managed to start hurting the Young Tigresses, with Miki Kimura (54’), Noa Fukushima (57’), Natsumi Tago (75’), Miyu Matsunaga (81’), and Yura Honda (87’) netting one each.
India, playing their first Asian Cup match in 20 years, had a good start early on, with Shubhangi Singh and Sulanjana Raul combining well on the left to set Sibani Devi Nongmeikapam through. The latter’s low cutback, however, was intercepted.
