Gokulam Kerala FC drop points as title race heats up

KOLKATA: Gokulam Kerala FC dropped two vital points in their quest for the I-League title as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Kashmir FC at the VYBK Stadium on Monday.

Basit Ahmed Bhat's first-half goal for Kashmir was cancelled by Dennis Antwi's 24th-minute penalty kick as both teams shared the points. With this draw, Gokulam find themselves two points adrift of league leaders Churchill Brothers as things stand, but could very well find themselves at third if TRAU win their clash against RoundGlass Punjab FC.

Half chances for both teams in the final few minutes of the second half were wasted and at the end of the game, the scoreline read 1-1. With his draw, Real Kashmir are mathematically out of the title race while Gokulam will have to hope that their title rivals also drop points in the coming games today. IANS
