Gokulam Kerala FC capped off their I-League season on a resounding note, clinching a dominant 6-1 triumph over TRAU FC in a compelling encounter at the EMS Stadium in Kozhikode on Friday.

Launching a blistering assault from the outset, Gokulam Kerala unleashed an unstoppable first-half onslaught, spearheaded by the stellar performance of Noufal PN, to dismantle an already relegated TRAU FC. The victory propelled Gokulam Kerala to the third position in the league standings, positioning them favorably pending the outcome of the Real Kashmir vs. Namdhari match on Saturday. Conversely, TRAU FC concluded their campaign languishing at the bottom of the table.

The breakthrough arrived in the 19th minute when Noufal provided a sublime assist to Alex Sanchez, who capitalized on the opportunity to notch his 19th goal of the season.

However, Gokulam’s resilience remained unyielding as goalkeeper Devansh Dabas thwarted further attempts from TRAU FC with stellar saves.

As the match approached its conclusion, Gokulam Kerala continued to assert their dominance, sealing the victory with two additional goals in injury time.
