Women's League Football: Police attack APF

The first 'big match' of the ANFA Women's Football League got off to a late start due to rain. It was almost dark when it ended at the ANFA complex in Satdobato.

is the essence of it, defending champion APF will have to work hard if they want to defend the title. "Recently, our weakness is in the front line. We don't even have Savitra Bhandari. We have to be able to give options and we are also preparing for this," APF coach Jeevesh Pandey said, "It has been three games and we have not scored a goal. It needs improvement.'

The number of goals scored by APF has reached three with the two matches of the preliminary stage of the AFC Women's Champions League. This has come to the fore as a problem that could plague the team. It is impossible to calculate how many attacks APF made during the entire game. However, the police defense led by Pooja Rana and goalkeeper Usha Nath continued to stop it.

especially Usha was very busy. Coach Pandey was not completely disappointed in this tie. He added, "Our aim is to win the title." It will remain undefeated in the entire tournament. We will be in this effort.'

This performance of APF became an excuse to be happy for police trainer Bholanath Silwal. What he thinks is that the police will give a strong challenge to the APF in the title race. Silwal commented on the game, "To some extent, APF stayed ahead of us. However, we have increased confidence that we can overcome the challenge of APF in the coming days. Police attack is weak compared to that.

The meaning of the draw was that both teams settled for one goal each. How this tie was, it has proved that even in Nepali football, there is a competition worth watching on the field. Otherwise, due to poor preparation and lack of training, most of the team's performance was weaker than average.

The first match of the day also ended in a draw. Chandrapur and Karnali were the satisfactory teams with one point each. In that match, Karnali took the lead with Sunkala Rai's goal in the seventh minute. His high shot from just outside the penalty area turned into a goal. However, Karnali could not maintain it.

Rajni Thokar equalized for Chandrapur in first half injury time. Senu Pariyar broke through Karnali's defense and Rajni easily headed the post. There were no scoring opportunities in the second half. Chandrapur's assistant coach Bhojraj Ghimire said after the match, "Our performance was not as expected. But, our goal is to be in the top five.

He claimed that it was difficult for his players to perform their natural game in the midday sun. Karnali's assistant coach Ganesh Khadka's reaction was, 'There is no turf pitch in Karnali. But playing on a turf pitch in the sun made it difficult for our players. But we are satisfied with one point. Our goal is to be in the top five.'
