Bala Devi duly converted it to equalise the score.A minute later, it was a bit of individual brilliance that did the magic for Manipur, as Bala turned fullback Linthoi inside-out, and fired a left-footer into the bottom corner.Meanwhile, Sethu FC produced a brilliant performance against a hapless SSB Women FC, as the Tamil Nadu based side engineered a 8-1 victory.Sabitra Bhandari netted four goals to take her tournament tally to 13 from six appearances.
