Grace’s joy, however, was short lived as she was forced to leave the field after a collision with Kickstart FC goalkeeper Rashmi Kumari. Rashmi suffered a cut near her chin, while Grace took a hit to the hip. Both players were taken to a nearby hospital. They were discharged after receiving stitches. The duo is expected to be out of action for at least a week.
In another match, Sandhya’s hat-trick took Sethu FC to a 5-0 win over Kolhapur FC. Sandhya came to life in the second-half, where she calmly converted one-on-one battles with Kolhapur FC goalkeeper Shreya Hooda.
Amsavalli proved to be an able strike partner for Sandhya, creating chances regularly with sharp runs. Amsavalli provided the opening goal, collecting a deflection off her own shot to slot it in.
