India clinched bronze at the Women’s Under-18 Asia Cup after a brace by Sangita Kumari helped them beat Korea 3-0 in the third-place play-off on Thursday.

Sangita scored in the 55th and 58th minutes after Ritu had put India ahead in the 45th minute. The two teams played out a goal-less first half, with India content with dropping deep and relying on the counter to create opportunities.

India though finally took control of the game early in the second half, to finish the competition on a high.
