Nagpur News : A solitary strike was enough for Mumbai to edge Nagpur 1-0 on their way to be crowned champions at Nagpur District Football Association’s 2013-14 Maharashtra Women Inter District Championship Football Tournament on Monday at Police Line Takli ground.
Mumbai came into the final on the back of an undefeated run, maintaining clean sheets in all their matches. On the other hand, hosts Nagpur looked to make the most of the home advantage. The opening period of play failed to produce goals in spite of some attacking football. It was Laura Estebiero’s 30th minute strike that put Mumbai ahead in the 30th minute, against the run of play.
