The Indian women's football team mauled Maldives 15-0 to open their campaign in style in Incheon today. Winger Sasmita Malik and midfielder Kamala Devi struck five times while striker Bala Devi scored twice. Captain Bembem Devi, striker Prameshwori Devi and defender Ashalata Devi also scored a goal each in a completely lop-sided Group A match. With today's win, India are virtually through to quarterfinals in the women's football competition which began a week before the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. India next play hosts South Korea on September 17 before taking on Thailand on September 19 in their last group match.
