Manjeri (Kerala), Nov 12 Defending champions Gokulam Kerala FC started the I-League 2022-23 season with a 1-0 win over Mohammedan SC at the Payyanad Stadium, here on Saturday.With this win, Gokulam Kerala FC picked up all three points, making a perfect start to the new season.Mohammedan started the game on a high tempo, with several new signings like Nuriddin Davronov, Abhishek Ambekar and Abiola Dauda in their starting XI. Soon, Gokulam Kerala also grew into the game and it became an end-to-end affair.In the 11th minute, Gokulam's Farshad Noor and Nuriddin Davronov of Mohammedan were booked by the referee after an argument.The first half did not see many clear opportunities for either side. Aminou Bouba went close for Gokulam in the 35th minute but his free-kick went just over the bar.Gokulam Kerala stepped up their game and began the second half with more urgency. Rahul Raju and Christy Davis of the home and away teams, respectively, received yellow cards at the start of the second half.The Malabar then broke the deadlock in the 55th minute. New forward signing Auguste Somlaga played a quick give-and-go with midfielder Farshad Noor before driving a low shot from outside the box. His effort slipped through the hands of Mohammedan keeper Zothanmawia and the ball crossed the goalline.After going into arrears, Mohammedan coach Andrey Chernyshov made a tactical change as he brought on the midfielder Faslu Rahman for striker Dauda in the 62nd minute. The Black and White Brigade had a decent chance to equalize in the 64th minute as Vanlalzuidika raided the Gokulam penalty area but the attack didn't amount to anything.On the other side, Farshad Noor entered the Mohammedan box after some great dribbling but his effort narrowly missed the target.Midway through the second half, the game turned into a midfield tussle. Mohammedan seemed like running out of ideas and failed to pose any real threat to the Gokulam defence. In the 83rd minute, their skipper S.K. Faiaz received a good chance in the Gokulam box but his shot went straight to the Gokulam goalkeeper Shibinraj Kunniyil, who dealt with it easily.Gokulam Kerala will now face Aizawl FC in an away fixture on November 18 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, while Mohammedan SC travel to play RoundGlass Punjab FC on November 20 in Panchkula.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
