Two late strike from Amoolya give BUFC a winning start in Intimacy Women’s League

When it just looked like the game between BUFC and newcomers Rebels FC in the Intimacy Women’s Super Division Football League will end sharing spoils, evergreen Amoolya Kamal came up with a match-winning display. 

Captaining the Bangalore United FC squad against Rebels FC, the 2019 winners and last year’s runners up, Amoolya struck in the 87th minute.

The large band of Rebels FC  fans were vocal throughout the game but seizing a chance inside the box, Amoolya beat Tanvi Mavani with an angled drive that went in off the far post.

While that strike broke the hearts of the Rebels’ supporters, the BUFC star turned on the magic again during injury time to slot home and with two goals in six minutes it was a sad end to Rebels’ opener in the Super Division.

Earlier in the first game, Parikrma FC proved too good for Slamzers FC from Belgaum winning by a 3-0 margin. Priyanka seemed to have a poor day under the bar for the visitors as in the very 7th minute Shobana scored and then two more goals within the first quarter ended Belgaum’s hopes. Nadiya and Vaishnavi scored in the 13th and 24th minutes respectively.
