Dramatic Shoot‑out Seals MP Academy’s Sub‑Junior Victory

At the Gwalior venue, the sub‑junior women’s championship reached an electrifying climax. After 44 minutes, MP Academy’s Geetashri Nammie equalised, and a later goal by Jagruti Yadav forced the game into a penalty shoot‑out. In the decisive five‑round contest, MP’s Bhavika, Saroj Manasi and Geetashri converted, while Pritam Sivach’s goalkeeper Paridhi Mevada could only save once, giving MP a 3‑1 shoot‑out triumph and their first sub‑junior title of the tournament.
