Odisha FC began its Indian Women’s League campaign with a resounding 4-0 win against Sports Odisha at the Capital Football Arena in Bhubaneswar on Friday.

Win Theingi Tun, Odisha FC’s Myanmar recruit, netted two second-half goals to put the match beyond all doubt, after captain Manisa Panna put them ahead through a header in the first half.

10 minutes into the second half, Win nodded in a corner by Jasoda Munda to double her side’s lead, and a minute later, she was played through behind the defence by Munda to set up her laced finish past the near post.

Malati Munda scampered upfield on a counterattack, and sent a miscued cross with his left foot, which looped over the keeper, and into the net for the fourth goal.

This win puts Odisha on level terms with Kickstart FC and East Bengal FC, which have three points from one match.
