Joakim Alexandersson's debut as the head coach of India's national women's football team was marked by a spectacular 14-0 victory over Maldives in a FIFA women's friendly. The game, held on Tuesday, highlighted the debut of eight players, a testament to Alexandersson's confidence in nurturing new talent.

Lynda Kom Serto, a remarkable young striker, made waves by scoring four goals. Her performance was in line with her history of excellence, having previously been the top scorer in the SAFF U18 Championship. The striker's partnership with fellow forward Pyari Xaxa was instrumental in securing half of the team's goals.

Looking ahead, Alexandersson is eager to experiment with the squad's lineup, offering more opportunities for less experienced players. The coach is particularly focused on enhancing the team's speed and decision-making as they prepare for their next friendly against the same adversary.
