I-League: Shillong Lajong FC and Gokulam Kerala share points

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaDecember 14, 2024

Shillong Lajong FC played out a 0-0 draw against Gokulam Kerala in the match on December 14 held at the SSA Stadium, Shillong.

Both teams could not capitalise their chances and nevertheless, it was a game in which both sides opened up, especially in the second half, in search of a goal that remained elusive despite desperate attempts. Several shots were taken at each other’s goal; while some proved pretty wide of the target, both sides had their share of near misses in the 90-minute affair. It kept the two goalkeepers fairly busy and in the end, they emerged unscratched. 

The draw was Shillong Lajong’s third clean sheet in a row. The point lifted them to fifth spot with six points from five games. For Gokulam, it was their third draw in four games. The Malabarians also have six points and are placed sixth, only behind Lajong on goal difference.

Shillong Lajong next match will be their first away match this season against Delhi FC in Mahilpur, Punjab on December 19 at 2 pm.
