Rajmata Jijabai Trophy: Manipur defeats Odisha to win Senior Women’s National Football Championship  title

NEW DELHI: Manipur’s dominance in the Senior Women’s National Football Championship continued after it defeated Odisha 1-0 in the final of the Rajmata Jijabai Trophy at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Monday.

After a barren first half, defending champion Manipur made sure of taking home the trophy for the 23rd time out of the 29 editions played so far when striker Asem Roja Devi booted in the winner through a jungle of legs off a corner kick in the 55 th minute.

Odisha once more had to stay content with the runner-up trophy as it was the side’s sixth defeat in seven finals, all against Manipur. Agencies
