London Seaward star Zahmena Malik makes Pakistan Women debut

0

London Seaward attacking midfielder Zahmena Malik grabbed a memorable assist on her Pakistan Women debut in a historic clash against Comoros in Saudi Arabia.

The 21-year-old played the full 90 minutes against Comoros at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium in Riyadh in Pakistan's first women's match against African opposition

Malik played a delightful square ball with the back of her heel to allow Anmol Hira to slot home an 89th-minute winner, as Pakistan made it back-to-back victories following a record 7-0 win against The Maldives in the final match of last year's South Asian Football Federation Championship in Nepal.

Malik was named in Pakistan's squad - alongside Doncaster Rovers Belles attacker Nadia Khan and Chesham United's Amina Hanif - for this month's four-team women's international friendly tournament in Saudi Arabia, featuring the host nation, Comoros and Mauritius.

The British-Pakistani combines playing for Women's National League Division One South East side London Seaward with coaching for Bloomsbury Football, and celebrated her 21st birthday while training with the national team in Lahore last month.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News last month, former Harlow Town Ladies manager Ruudy Yusuf said: "Zahmena doesn't realise how good she is and is going from strength to strength.

She's playing at a good standard with a really good club under some great coaches with strong values. Zahmena is a player who anything is possible for if she can continue the trajectory
