Gokulam Kerala FC registered the biggest-ever win in a IWL final round game with a 14-1 thumping of Kahaani FC at the Shahibaug Police Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, May 6.
After seeing their record 21-match winning streak come to an end with a goalless draw against Misaka United FC on Thursday, Gokulam Kerala FC were again shocked when Kahaani FC took an early lead courtesy of a Ranjana Chanu own goal. But after Sandhiya Ranganathan equalised in the 18th minute, there was no stopping the Malabarians. Goals from league top-scorer Sabitra Bhandari, Shilky Devi and Indhumathi Kathiresan put Gokulam 4-1 up at half-time.
Floodgates remained open in the second half as Kenyan forward Vivian Adjei and defender Ashalata Devi also wrote their names on the scoresheet. As a result, Gokulam Kerala FC broke their own record for the biggest winning margin in the IWL set last year when they beat Odisha Police 12-0.
Ranganathan was adjudged as the Player of the Match for her five goals. Bhandari’s four goals took her season’s tally to 15, seven more than her nearest rival Kajol Dsouza of Sethu FC.
Gokulam Kerala FC remain top of the Group A table with 13 points after five matches.
