ZFA cruise past Royal FC Jaipur with dominant 3-0 victory.
Our Zinc Football Academy girls’ team delivered a commanding performance to defeat Royal FC Jaipur 3-0 in Matchday 6 of the Rajasthan League Senior Women’s A-Division 2025–26, completing a league double after our 2-0 win in the reverse fixture earlier.
The early morning clash saw a slight delay in kick-off due to heavy overnight rain, leaving the pitch wet and challenging. Despite the conditions and a quick turnaround between matches, our ZFA team started aggressively, knowing the importance of securing all three points in our title push.
Our Zawar-based Academy nearly took the lead inside the opening minute when in-form Antra Dolui’s precise pass found Joha at the edge of the box, but the effort went wide. Moments later, Zawar’s local talent Geet also tried her luck from distance but couldn’t hit the target.
The breakthrough came in the 14th minute following sustained pressure. A well-worked attacking corner caused confusion inside the penalty area, and the loose ball fell kindly to Joha, who made no mistake this time to give us deserved 1-0 lead.
ZFA continued to dominate possession and create chances but had to settle for a single-goal advantage at halftime, despite multiple opportunities to extend our lead.
The second half saw more of the same control from ZFA. In the 59th minute, centre-back Tamanna doubled the lead in spectacular fashion, striking a powerful free-kick from near the halfway line that left the goalkeeper with no chance.
Just five minutes later, we put the result beyond doubt. Antra Dolui once again played a key role, threading a brilliant pass through the defence to Simran, who dribbled past defenders and calmly slotted the ball into the corner to make it 3-0.
Our girls continued to press and create opportunities, pinning Royal FC Jaipur deep inside their own half, with the opposition struggling to gain any attacking foothold.
With this result, ZFA now have five wins from six matches, taking their tally to 15 points with two matchdays remaining, keeping our title ambitions firmly on track.
