Malabarians are back in title race with thrilling win over Aizawl in a six goal thriller

The first matchday of Matchweek 6 of the Indian Football League(IFL) couldn’t have begun in a better fashion as the game between Gokulam Kerala and Aizawl was a six-goal feast.

The game had everything from early goals, three goals in the dying minutes of the game, to a nail-biting finish. It was less than five minutes on the clock when Gokulam were leading 2-0 after goals from Trijoy Dias and Rahul Raju.

To deepen the woes for the Meghalaya outfit, Brown made it 3-0 in the 34th minute. Just when the game seemed over, Aizawl FC scored twice in the 88th and 89th minutes and almost gave a mini heart attack to the Malabarians, who sealed the victory 4-2 after Rahul Raju scored in the 97th minute.

Let’s take a closer look at how the IFL points table has changed after this game and find out how tonight’s results will impact the championship prospects of different teams.
