The United States hammered hosts India 8-0 on the opening day of the FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup at the Kalinga Stadium here on October 12. On a day when India made its debut in the U-17 Women’s World Cup, the United States completely dominated the game and secured the three points with a commanding win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tallest player in the Indian team is 169 cm tall, the height of seven of the starting eleven of the United States team. That became the key factor for the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Riley Jackson, the Golden Ball winner of the U-17 CONCACAF Championship, set up the opening two goals when two of her crosses were converted by Melina Rebimbas and Charlotte Kohler respectively. After the second goal, gaps started emerging in the Indian defence and that was all for Natalia Astrain\u2019s side to punish them further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 26th minute, goalkeeper Anjali Munda\u2019s pass to centre-back Purnima Kumari was intercepted by Onyeka Gamero, who then beat Anjali to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coach Natalia, leading a side that has not gone past the knockout stages since 2008, will be relieved to see her plan finally fall into place, since taking charge of the team in November last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe objective was to make a strong start to the tournament. We know that it is really important to send this message to everybody that we are here and we want to win the tournament\u2026This is a big tournament, a long tournament and we need to continue doing our hard work,\u201d said Natalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia launches biggest missile strike since start of Ukraine war<\/strong> Kiev has been targeted for the first time in months, but explosions have also been reported in Ternopil and Lviv in the west, which has so far escaped the worst of the war. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia has targeted energy infrastructure across the country and that energy facilities in Kiev, Lviv, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv are among the places hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ukraine’s military commander says Russia launched 83 missiles in total. It comes a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine’s security services of attacking the Kerch bridge \u2013 although Ukrainian officials have not indicated whether their forces were behind the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 19km (12-mile) bridge, the longest in Europe, is an important supply route for Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia has used the bridge to move military equipment, ammunition, and personnel from Russia to battlefields in southern Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hindu temple opens in Dubai<\/strong> Located in a neighbourhood referred to as the emirate’s ‘worship village’, the temple formally opened its doors to worshippers across the UAE on Dussehra (October 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ‘worship village’ in Jebel Ali now houses nine religious shrines, including seven churches, the Guru Nanak Darbar Sikh Gurudwara, and the new Hindu house of worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The temple features detailed hand carvings, ornate pillars, brass spires and striking lattice screens that blend Indian and Arabic architecture.
