Japan defeated India by a lone goal to win the first IBSA Blind Football Asian women’s title at the United Sports Centre, Kakkanad, on Saturday.
The Asian women’s championship was a two-team event and Japan, which won both its matches, emerged champion with India finishing runner-up. Both have qualified for next year’s World Championship in Birmingham.
Japan’s Siro Kikushima, who scored two goals on Friday, scored the match-winner today. This also meant that she was the only goalscorer at the Asian event.
