Charlotte Ruth Kohler scored a free header in the 15th minute for USA’s second goal from a corner kick, while Onyeka Paloma Gamero scored the third goal for the visitors following an error in the Indian backline.

Anjali Munda made a decent save in the 28th minute and gathered on her second attempt from a corner kick. India had a chance a few minutes later when Neha tried her luck from long range, but her effort flew past the upright.

Rebimbas, scored her second goal in the 31st through a top-class finish on the half-volley, giving no chance to the Indian goalkeeper. The fifth goal came soon in the 39th when Gisele Thompson scored past Munda’s near post.
