In the match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, Nepal defeated India 2-1 with the help of captain Savitra Bhandari Samba's two goals.

In the 81st minute, India's Karisma Sirvokar bounced the ball from Nirmala Devi's free kick and returned the goal. However, the goal was not enough for a tie and Nepal registered a 2-1 victory.
Once again Savitra was the hero in the win against India. She has scored 10 goals against India so far. Overall, Savitra has scored 68 goals for Nepal. In the first match, Nepal lost to Iran 3-0.
