The malabarians

Gokulam Kerala FC: Gokulam Kerala FC will be looking to win their first I-League match of the season when they host Neroca FC at the EMS Stadium in Kozhikode on Sunday.

The Malabarians were on course for a win in their campaign opener against Inter Kashi. However, they lost their focus towards the end of the match and conceded a last-gasp goal. Eventually, they had to settle for a point as Inter Kashi held them to a 2-2 draw.

Understandably, it was heartbreaking for Gokulam Kerala. At the same time, though, they need to count the positives. Gokulam Kerala played an attacking brand of football, punctuated by beautiful passes and moves, in their first match.
