The Pakistan women’s football team continued their remarkable run in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers by defeating Kyrgyzstan 2-1, registering their second consecutive victory in Group D.

 

This win is even more impressive as Kyrgyzstan is ranked 21 places higher than Pakistan in the FIFA rankings. 

 

On July 2, Pakistan pulled off a stunning 2-0 win against hosts Indonesia, who are ranked 95th in the world compared to Pakistan’s 157th spot. 

 

Nadia Khan opened the scoring in the eigth minute with her fifth international goal, while Suha Hirani doubled the lead with a well-taken penalty in the 18th minute. Goalkeeper Ziyana Jeewraj stood strong, making crucial saves to secure a clean sheet for Pakistan.

 

The back-to-back wins mark an incredible turnaround for the national side, which recorded their first international victory since September 2023 when they beat Laos in a penalty shootout.
