Ludhiana: Gokulam Kerala FC won with an injury time goal. I League football regained the second position in the points table. They beat Delhi FC 2-1. Captain Alex Sanchez (85 penalty) and Laliansanka Rentali (90+3) scored for Gokulam. Earlier, Delhi took the lead with an own goal by Gokulam’s Nidin Krishna (45).
This is Gokulam’s fifth consecutive win in I-League football. The team is in great form after the Super Cup football break. Gokulam sweated in the first half against Delhi but returned to the attack later. Gokulam’s own goal in the 45th minute helped Delhi. However, their celebration was put on hold by Gokulam captain Alex Sanchez. Sanchez’s goal with five minutes to go dashed Delhi’s hopes. The match was about to be tied in the injury time when Laliansanka Rentali, who has recently arrived on loan, scored to save Gokulam.
Gokulam was helped by the excellence of Spanish star Alex Sanchez in the match. Later, Gokulam rushed to victory by advancing in a planned manner.
After 15 matches in the I-League, Gokulam’s surge is crucial. Gokulam has 29 points in 15 games including eight wins, five draws and two losses. Mohammedan Sporting Club is the first with 34 points. Gokulam’s next game is against Churchill Brothers Goa on Saturday. Then they have to face Namdhari, Mohammedan, Real Kashmir, Aizawl FC, Srinidhi Dhakan and Delhi teams.
