Touted as certain semifinalists the Indian women´s football team suffered a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of South Korea in their opening Group B match. Except for custodian Chintham Devi, but for whom the margin of defeat would have been twice than it was, the rest of the Indian girls just seemed to be overawed by the atmosphere at the main stadium in the Thammasat University Complex. Coach Arunamoygam said the girls just did not heed his instructions of not falling back all the time.
December 9: India 1-13 Taiwan - Goals: 3xMing-shu Lee, 3xIi-Min Hung, 3xHuey-Shwu Wu, 2xChun-Lan Huang, Tzu-Yun Chang, Lan-ten Lan; and Tababi Devi for India.
India dished out a pathetic display to be thrashed 1-13 by Taiwan in group B of the women's competition. Routed 0-7 by South Korea in its opening encounter, the Indians simply disintegrated after scoring an early goal through Tababi Devi as the Taiwan team toyed with the non-existent defence and a clueless goalkeeper Binoshori Devi. India next takes on the title favourite China on Friday which promises another rout.
December 11: India 0-16 China - goals: not known.
The Indian women footballers had their cup of woes overflowing as they were mauled 0-16 by fancied China in a group B encounter at the 13th Asian Games. This was the third successive drubbing for the Indian eves who conceded 36 goals scoring only once (against Taiwan). Touted as a medal prospect, the Indians danced to the Chinese tunes and trailed 0-8 at the breather. The rout would have been still more ignominious had China converted all the 35 chances that came their way.
