Indian winger Manisha Kalyan produced a contender for goal of the tournament during India’s IND-W vs TPE-W AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 clash against Chinese Taipei on Tuesday. Despite the 1-3 loss at CommBank Stadium, Kalyan’s individual brilliance became a global talking point. In the 39th minute, Kalyan unleashed a 30-yard screamer that rattled the crossbar before bouncing over the line. The goal, confirmed via VAR, drew widespread comparisons to legendary strikes by Cristiano Ronaldo for its power and precision. While the goal levelled the scores, India eventually succumbed to a 1-3 defeat. This third straight loss confirmed the Blue Tigresses' exit from the tournament. Manisha Kalyan Becomes First Indian Female Footballer To Score Goal For South American Club, Achieves Feat During Alianza Lima vs Universidad Catolica Friendly Match (Watch Video).
