Akashdeep Singh scored a last minute goal to clinch three points for Namdhari FC.

Gokulam Kerala FC’s title chase suffered an unexpected setback on Thursday, February 29, 2024, when they went down to Namdhari FC 1-2 in the I-League 2023-24 at the Namdhari Stadium.

This was the Kerala side’s first defeat after winning six matches in a row.

While Harmanpreet Singh put Namdhari FC in the lead in the fourth minute, Gokulam’s equaliser through substitute Sourav K in the 85th minute bore no fruit as Namdhari’s Akashdeep Singh picked up the match-winner in the seventh minute of the add-on time.

Gokulam, who are currently only a couple of points behind table toppers Mohammedan Sporting, have collected 32 points from 17 matches. Debutants Namdhari FC now have 15 points from 16 matches but stay in the 11th place.
