Marcus Joseph scores as Gokulam Kerala edge Chennai City

Gokulam Kerala have climbed to the third spot on the table with three points from Coimbatore...

Marcus Joseph's 79th-minute strike helped Gokulam Kerala down defending champions Chennai City 1-0 in the I-League match on Wednesday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Coimbatore.

Chennai City coach Akbar Nawas named an unchanged lineup and Santiago Valera made two alterations in a bid to return to winning ways after the 1-0 defeat to Real Kashmir. Shibil Muhammed and Muthu Mayakkanan were reinstated to the starting line-up.

It was a brisk start to the match as both teams tested each other's defensive resolve right from the first whistle.
