Saudi Arabia kicked off their campaign at the Women’s International Friendly Tournament with a 1-0 win over Mauritius on Wednesday night at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium in Alkhobar.

In the tournament’s opening match, Pakistan set the early pace by beating Comoros 1-0 with a last-minute goal from Anmol Hira, and now share the lead in the standings after the host nation’s win.
