India won their first match 2-0 against Jordan, but lost their second match to Russia by the same score.
On Wednesday, the Indian women's football team lost 3-0 to the Republic of Korea at the Al Hamriya Sports Club Stadium in Sharjah, bringing the Pink Ladies Cup 2025 campaign to an end.World No. 20 South Korea, the top-ranked football team in this year's Pink Ladies Cup, took the lead in the first half with Choi Yoojung and Choi Dagyeong, before Mun Eunju added a third in the 81st minute.
India won one out of three Pink Ladies Cup 2025 matches. After defeating Jordan 2-0, they faced Russia and South Korea.
As expected, the Koreans began brightly and quickly established themselves in the Indian half.
Crispin Chettri's girls, on the other hand, performed admirably in closing the gaps early and mitigating the impact of Korean attacks. But the resolve eventually wavered.
Relentless pressure forced the Indian defenders to commit a few infringements near their area, one of which resulted in the opening goal in the eighth minute. Choi Yoojung and skipper Lee Youngju were the livewires of the Korean attacks, with the former striking first.
The Indian conceded a direct free kick on the edge of the box, with a clear view of the frame. Choi Yoojung hammered the free kick brilliantly past Indian goalkeeper Shreya Hooda.
Overall, Shreya was a vigilant customer, constantly on her toes as she had to deal with too many attacks from all sides. She did an excellent job, including saving a penalty in the 66th minute, but Shreya had little control when Choi Dagyeong scored the second goal in the 27th minute.
The Indian defense allowed the ball to remain in the Indian box for too long and paid the price. Dagyeong tapped in the ball from close range.
The Korean goalkeeper was only tested once during the first half, when she easily collected Lynda Kom's hopeful shot. India earned a few corners, but none of them yielded anything worthwhile.
In the second half, India appeared more organised and posed a greater threat from the wings.
In the second half, the South Koreans struggled to break down Indian defenders before Mun Eunju increased the lead in the 81st minute.
