Xtra Time Web Desk: Gokulam Kerala FC created history on Saturday as they became the first side from Kerala to be crowned champions of the Hero I-League. The team from Kerala put up a spectacular fightback at the Kishore Bharati Stadium after the Vincenzo Annese coached side came from a goal down to score four goals in the second half and register a 4-1 win over TRAU.
Bidyashagar Singh’s first-half strike did little to stop the Gokulam juggernaut as strikes by Sharif Mohamed, Emil Benny, Dennis Antwi, and Mohammad Rashid aided Gokulam in their quest for silverware. With Churchill winning 3-2 against RoundGlass Punjab FC, Gokulam Kerala FC shared points (29) with the Red Machines but were crowned champions courtesy of a better head-to-head record.
