Football News: India women’s team face dominant Myanmar in 2019 Gold Cup

Indian women’s football team is all set to take on dominant Myanmar at the Hero Gold Cup 2019 in the second game of the night, knowing that victory could take them to the final on home soil. Despite Indian women's team suffering a shock loss against Nepal on Monday in their second match, Head Coach Maymol Rocky stays confident that the result was a minor blip. The coach has said that they are a young side and she is sure that the girls are strong-minded and will bounce back. Talking about her team's next opponents, coach Rocky said and I quote, Myanmar are the strongest team in the tournament. They have a good set of players in every position and are ranked much higher than us as well.’ The tournament regulations state that in case teams are level on points, the goal difference will be considered to determine the rankings. In a situation that the goal difference is also the same, goals scored will be the deciding factor. In the current standings, Myanmar are on top with six points from two games, followed by India and Nepal with three points each, while IR Iran are yet to open their account. Currently, India have a GD of 0, while Nepal stand at -2 and IR Iran at -3.
