Lalitpur, April 29

Tribhuvan Army Club registered their second straight victory defeating Eastern Region 6-0 in the Super League match of the Women’s National Football League here at the ANFA Complex grounds today.

Sapana Lama and Sharmila Thapa Magar scored braces for the TAC, while Kabita Dhimal and Indira Rai netted one each against hapless Eastern Region.

The win meant TAC opened up a three-point lead after the second and penultimate round. TAC accumulated six points to remain at the top of the four-team table, while Nepal Police Club and Nepal APF Club have three each with the former ahead on head-to-head results.

Eastern Region, who lost their second consecutive match, are at the bottom.

TAC will now face APF in their last match and a draw is enough for the Army team to lift the trophy. Defending champions NPC will play against Eastern Region in the last match of the tournament on Monday.

TAC were ahead in the first minute of the match when Lama opened the scoring for her team, while Dhimal extended the lead seven minutes later.

Lama scored her second goal of the match in the 19th minute as TAC went into the break with a comfortable 3-0 lead. Substitute Rai score team’s fourth goal in the 54th minute, while Thapa Magar found the back of the nets in the 66th and 90th minutes to seal comfortable victory.
