Alanya (Turkey), Feb 27

India’s hopes of winning their first-ever senior title outside the SAFF region were dashed by an injury-time goal from lower-ranked Kosovo in their concluding round-robin Turkish Women’s Cup match here today.

While the 1-0 victory, thanks to a strike by Ereleta Memeti (90 2), propelled 100-ranked Kosovo to nine points from three matches and gave them their second title in a row, India, placed 35 spots above their

opponents in the FIFA chart, finished runners-up with six points.

It was the Blue Tigresses’ best performance in the tournament in three appearances. India’s Manisha Kalyan was adjudged the best midfielder of the tournament for her exemplary display throughout the competition.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
