Two goals and an assist from Luka Majcen along with a brace from striker Fletcher and a goal from forward Jithin gave Gokulam Kerala a four goal cushion against Real Kashmir FC. Tiago Adan scored sole goal for the snow leopards from an awarded penalty which was rather just a mere consolation. Gokulam Kerela got an early heads up when Real Kashmir FC defender Prakash Sarkar was given marching orders as early as the third minute following a hard foul.
