India was on the back foot at halftime after Shakhzoda Alikhonova scored for Uzbekistan in the 38th minute. However, tactical decisions by Head Coach Joakim Alexandersson changed the course of the match in the second half. Thandamani Baskey, who came on as a substitute, scored the equalizing goal in the 55th minute. She then assisted Anushka Kumari, who scored the winning goal in the 66th minute. With this result, India finished at the top of Group G with six points from two games, securing their first-ever qualification for the Asian Cup.
