Indian women's football team suffered defeat against Serbia in Turkey.  Despite the loss,  head coach Maymol Rocky feels the team is on the right track in their preparation for the Asian Cup despite a 2-0 loss against Serbia earlier this week.

Coach Rocky stressed the positives which emerged from the game. A website quoted her as saying,   "We played a match against Serbia wherein we went down 0-2. But looking back, the positives which emerged from the match are immense. Technically, Serbia are a much superior side than us in comparison to our new-look team," the AIFF website quoted Maymol as saying. She "We had our chances but failed to convert them. We played at a high intensity. This is just the start and makes me believe that we are on the right track in our preparation for the AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022."

Skipper Sangita Basfore admitted that the game was tough. She said, "The match was a tough one. Serbia was a superior side. The most significant aspect is that such matches are part of our learning curve. The coach has jotted down the areas for improvement and we have been working on improving those areas."

The Indian women's team played its first match after lockdown against Serbia in Turkey and faced a 2-0 defeat on Wednesday.
