Some scorelines don’t just win matches — they rewrite record books entirely. East Bengal Women delivered exactly that in Kota Kinabalu, thrashing Guam’s Rovers FC 12-0 in the AFC Women’s Champions League 2026-27 Preliminary Stage, registering the biggest-ever victory by any Indian club, men’s or women’s, in Asian club competition history.

Breaking a 40-Year-Old Record
The Moshal Girls’ 12-goal demolition surpasses East Bengal’s own men’s team, who previously held the mark with a 9-0 win over Maldives’ Club Valencia in the 1985-86 Asian Club Championship — a record that had stood for four decades before Thursday’s landslide.
How the Rout Unfolded
Priyangka Devi Naorem opened the scoring in the sixth minute before doubling her tally in the 22nd, finishing with a brace on the night. Astam Oraon, Olivia Anokye (also with a brace), Abigail Antwi, Shilky Devi Hemam, Abena Opoku (twice), Anju Chanu Kayenpaibam and Soumya Guguloth all found the net as East Bengal’s attack completely overwhelmed a helpless Rovers side.
