Kailali girls enter final

BY A STAFF REPORTER

Kathmandu, March 5:Youth Sports Club of Kailali entered semifinal of the Women Football Committee organised Mangala Devi national soccer league today beating Rolling Club of Jhapa 2-0.

After playing goalless during the first half, the Kailali girls press hard for a lead. Kailali ace striker Chandra Bhandari won a penalty in the 58th minute as Jhapa defender Sita Khadka touched her shot with hand.

The penalty shot taken by Bhandari herself was first deflected off Jhapa keeper Narbada Bista. However Bhandari was quick enough to tap it home in her second try.

After the first goal, Kailali built marauding pressures against rivals that ultimately resulted in
a beautiful move in the 89th minute.      

Sita Thapa, after collecting cross from Bhandari, guided the ball coolly into the net to give her team a convincing victory over one of the spirited team of the tournament.
