Alakhpura FC stunned table toppers Rising Student FC 1-0 to grab pole position with seven points from three matches in the ongoing inaugural edition of the Indian Women's League, here today. For much of the match, Rising Student FC dominated proceedings and dictated the tempo. With Rising Student FC failing to take their chances despite being the superior, Alakhpura FC struck much against the run of play when Deepika's freekick from more than 30 yards out found the back of the net in the 28th minute. Even after the half-time scoreline read 1-0 in Alakhpura FC s favour, Rising Student s spirits were seldom deterred as they pressed vigorously for the equaliser. The pressure from Rising Student was so much that Alakhpura FC were squeezed into their half for the majority of the second half with wave after wave of attacks testing their tenacity.
