Xtra Time Web Desk: The Indian women’s team went down 0-3 to Chile despite putting up an improved displayin its second game of the four-nation tournament at the Amazon Arena on Monday.
Striker Maria Urrutia (14th minute) gave Chile a first-half lead before two quick-fire goals (84th and 85th minutes) towards the end of the match snuffed out any hopes of an Indian comeback.
India made three changes to their starting line-up from the match against Brazil with M Lintoingambi Devi replacing Aditi Chauhan between the sticks and Martina Thokchom and Manisa Panna coming in for Kamala Devi and Dangmei Grace.
Chile scored the first goal in the 14th minute. Maria Rojas, a constant thorn in India’s flesh during the first half, progressed down the right and found Urrutia, who scored with a first-time finish.
In the 66th minute, India broke forward on a counter-attack through Manisha and the 20-year-old found substitute Dangmei Grace, whose shot was saved by Endler.
Just when India seemed to be growing in stature, Chile scored twice in the space of two minutes through substitute Isidora Hernandez and Karen Araya to seal the game in their favour.
India will play their final game against Venezuela on Thursday.
