India clinched the SAFF Women&rsquo;s Championships football title for the sixth time, and their first after seven years, with a dominant 3-1 win over Bangladesh in the summit clash here on Saturday.
&nbsp;
Pyari Xaxa (42nd), Sanfida Nongrum (46th) and Lynda Kom Serto (82nd) scored the goals for India, while Ritu Porna Chakma (45+2) pulled one back for Bangladesh. The hosts had beaten the same opponents 3-0 in the group stage.
&nbsp;
India ended the tournament unbeaten, scoring 18 goals while conceding just one, showcasing their dominance in the tournament. They had begun their campaign with an emphatic 11-0 victory over Maldives before convincingly blanking Bangladesh 3-0 to top Group B.
&nbsp;
After five title wins on the trot, India could not even reach the finals in the last two editions when Bangladesh walked away with the trophy after beating Nepal on both occasions in 2022 and 2024. India had last won the title in 2019.
