India's under-20 women's football squad earned one point after a scoreless match against Indonesia during Wednesday's AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup 2026 qualifying round at Thuwunna Stadium. The Young Tigresses currently sit behind Myanmar in Group D standings after the hosts defeated Turkmenistan with a commanding 6-1 victory. Both teams engaged in fierce midfield competition from the opening whistle as players battled for territorial control. India created multiple scoring opportunities through wing play but failed to convert despite quality crosses from Neha and long-range attempts by Sulanjana and Pooja. Indonesia's defense successfully neutralized most attacking threats while goalkeeper Alleana Ayu Arumy made several important saves.

The visitors maintained pressure throughout the second half with substitute Babita Kumari replacing Neha to provide fresh attacking options. Indonesia registered their best scoring chance when Ajeng Sri Handayani broke through India's defensive line during the 87th minute. Indian goalkeeper Monalisha Devi Moirangthem produced a vital save to preserve the clean sheet. Anju Chanu Kayenpaibam delivered two dangerous free kicks during stoppage time that tested the Indonesian keeper. India faces Turkmenistan on Friday for their second qualifying match.
