MANJERI: Gokulam Kerala FC booked their place in the Group Stage of the Hero Super Cup when they made short work of formidable Mohammedan Sporting 5-2 in the qualifying encounter at the Payyanad Stadium on Wednesday, April 5, 2023.
A match that looked like a close battle till the one-hour mark proved to be a completely one-sided affair in the end as the Mohammedan defence caved in to allow the Gokulam strikers often a free run. In the end, the Malabarians were deserving winners as they were quick to avail the chances that came their way.
If the little over 3,000 spectators who thronged the stadium left a satisfied lot, then there were enough reasons behind that. Gokulam, who earlier this season lost the battle for a third straight Hero I-League title, have made it through to Group C alongside ATK Mohun Bagan, FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC.
