In a dramatic semifinal clash in the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024, Nepal emerged victorious over India in a nail-biting penalty shootout, securing their place in the final.
The match faced multiple disruptions and tense moments, particularly in the 71st minute, when Nepal’s equalizer was disallowed, sparking frustration among fans and players alike. Earlier, India had taken the lead in the 71st minute, but as they celebrated, the referee’s whistle allowed play to continue, leading to a controversial attempt by Nepal. Despite this, Nepal’s goal was deemed invalid, causing a nearly one-hour interruption as fans expressed their displeasure.
The high-stakes encounter saw further tension as Nepal’s Rekha Poudel received a second yellow card early in the second half, resulting in her ejection. This led to a 15-minute pause due to security concerns on the field.
Ultimately, Nepal kept their composure and triumphed in the penalty shootout, paving their way to the finals, where they will face Bangladesh in a bid for the championship title.
