Jaipur, Oct 15 (UNI) There were goals aplenty in two Group D matches of the 29th Senior Women’s National Football Championship for the Rajmata Jijabai Trophy at the Vidhyadharnagar Stadium here on Tuesday, as Maharashtra recorded a massive 26-0 victory over Andaman & Nicobar, and Delhi defeated Pondicherry 11-0.
Bettering Delhi's 21-0 win over Andaman & Nicobar two days ago, Maharashtra took pole position thanks to a better goal difference. A draw against Delhi in the final group match on Thursday will be enough for Maharashtra to qualify for the final round. Delhi will need a victory to bag top spot.
Maharashtra's 26 goals were netted by nine different players. Vaishnavi Barate (3', 11', 24', 29', 35') and captain Arya More (27', 74', 76', 90+2', 90+4') scored five goals each. Sakshi Hiwale (1', 28', 33', 45+5') got four to her name.
