The State girls continued to toy around Chhattisgarh defence after the break as well and saw O Babita and M Sanjana taking their turns to add a goal each in the 50th and the 53rd minute before L Rejia hit the team's fifth goal in the 69th minute.
As Chhattisgarh girls remained clueless despite conceding five goals, O Babita struck her second goal in the 84th minute before L Rejia quick-fired two goals, one at the stroke of the 90th minute mark and another three minutes into the added time, to complete the 8-0 demolition.
