Bhutia was present at the stadium to watch the match on Thursday. He has said that the fate of the Indian team did not support it which it could not win.

Baichung Bhutia said, 'I am very impressed with the way our team performed. Fate was not with them who could not score three points. The Iranian goalkeeper has also made some brilliant defences. Bhutia, who has played more than 100 matches for India, has said, "Indian women's football has taken a long way. ’

Baichung Bhutia knows that the first match is always troublesome, but he is very happy with the way the team played.

He has played a brilliant role".
