EMS Corporation Stadium: Alex Sanchez scored a treble while Komron Tursunov and Sreekuttan V.S contributed one goal each as two-time champions Gokulam Kerala thrashed Rajasthan United 5-0 in a match of the I-League 2023-24 here on Thursday.

Gokulam Kerala came into the match riding a wave of confidence after a routine demolition of NEROCA in their last match and maintained their unbeaten start to the league at the EMS Corporation Stadium. In contrast, Rajasthan United have lost their last two matches.

However, the visitors started on a positive note, with Rajasthan United creating the first chances of the first half on the counter. However, they failed to capitalise on the chances with Richard Gadze's miss off a Ragav Gupta free run being their best chance.
