The Indian women’s football team went down 0-3 to Chile at Manaus in the second match of their Brazilian tour on Saturday.
Maria Urrutia (13’), Isidora Hernandez (83’), Karen Araya (84’) scored for the South Americans as Thomas Dennerby’s side gave a good account of themselves against a team ranked 20 places above them in the Fifa charts.
