EMS Corporation Stadium: Defending champions Gokulam Kerala FC maintained their chances of winning the title again as they thrashed Sports Odisha 8-0 in the Indian Women's League (IWL) 2023-24 at the EMS Corporation Stadium on Saturday.

Though not displaying a similar class and dominance as they did in the previous seasons, Gokulam are very much in contention in the current edition with seven points from four matches, having won two, lost one and drawn one. The big win on Saturday will certainly bolster their claim as they recovered from an indifferent start to their 2023-24 campaign.

Sports Odisha, on the other hand, seem completely out of their depth in the IWL 2023–24; they are without a point in their kitty after four matches. So far, they have conceded 16 goals and could score only once. The hapless Sports Odisha defence had no answer against the Gokulam onslaught as the Kerala outfit led 6-0 at half-time.
