New Delhi: East Bengal went down to Uzbekistan’s PFC Nasaf 3-0 on Sunday and got knocked out of the 2025-26 AFC Women’s Champions League from the group stage.

In their concluding group stage game in Wuhan, China, East Bengal conceded in the 18th, 52nd and 90+8 minute to finish their debut campaign with three points from three games.

Through a brace from Diyorakhon Khabibullaeva (18′, 90+8′) and Zarina Norboeva (52′) Nasaf reached four points in the group to advance to the quarter-finals as one of the best third-placed finishers.
