Surchandra’s Strike Helps Real Kashmir Hold Gokulam to Draw

Kozhikode: Real Kashmir FC held Gokulam Kerala to the 1-1 draw in an I-League encounter here on Saturday.

Pritam Singh opened the scoring for Gokulam in the 20th minute but the visitors came back strongly in the second half to find the equaliser in the 69th minute when Surchandra Singh scored his third goal of the season from an acute angle.

Following the result, Real Kashmir toppled Churchill Brothers to the third spot with 14 points from eight matches, while Gokulam replaced East Bengal at the sixth spot with 10 points from eight games.

Coming back from a humongous 6-1 win against Lajong, David Robertson opted to field an unchanged starting lineup in their second away fixture this Hero I-League season.

Bino George made as many as five changes in the starting lineup including giving Joel Sunday his debut for the Keralite outfit.

While Joel replaced another foreigner Mudda Musa, Rashid K and Pritam Singh came in for Bodo and Rajesh S at the attacking front. Dimple Bhagat filled in for Deepak K and Arnab Das Sharma took the charge under the woodwork replacing Shibinraj.

Gokulam will now fly to Cuttack to challenge the Indian Arrows on December 21 whereas Real Kashmir will go to Coimbatore to take on table-toppers Chennai City FC the next day. IANS
