They will face Malaysia\u2019s Sabah FA on Sunday, with a place in the next phase at stake.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>East Bengal run riot after early breakthrough<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>East Bengal wasted little time asserting their dominance. Priyangka Devi Naorem opened the scoring in the sixth minute when her effort from outside the box struck the left post before finding the net.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Rovers goalkeeper Jae Almonte then spilled Anju Chanu Kayenpaibam\u2019s effort in the 15th minute, allowing Astam Oraon to react quickly and score from the rebound.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Priyangka doubled her tally seven minutes later, breaking into the box before calmly lifting the ball over the advancing Almonte to give East Bengal a commanding 3-0 lead.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The IWL champions showed no signs of easing off after the interval. Sulanjana Raul\u2019s 48th-minute cross took a deflection and fell kindly for Olivia Anokye, who finished from close range.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>A minute later, Soumya Guguloth delivered a pinpoint cross for Abigail Antwi, who headed home East Bengal\u2019s fifth.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Goals keep coming as record is shattered<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The floodgates remained open. Almonte parried Shilky Devi Hemam\u2019s curling effort in the 51st minute, but Sulanjana was quickest to the rebound and made it 6-0.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Shilky then got her own name on the scoresheet five minutes later, curling another effort from just outside the box into the top-left corner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Olivia scored her second in the 58th minute with a low finish from inside the box, before Abena Opoku added another six minutes later with a powerful strike.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>East Bengal continued their relentless assault deep into the closing stages, with Abena scoring again in the 70th minute and Anju finding the net three minutes later.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>Soumya completed the rout in stoppage time at 90+3, taking East Bengal\u2019s tally to 12 and confirming the biggest victory ever recorded by an Indian club in Asian competition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>After a 4-0 victory over Rajshahi Stars FC of Bangladesh in their opening match, East Bengal now need one more win against Sabah FA to turn their historic start into a place in the AFC Women\u2019s Champions League group stage.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
