FC Goa will be looking to secure their maiden win of the 2023 Hero Super Cup when they take on Gokulam Kerala FC in their Group C match. The game is scheduled to take place on Friday, April 14 at EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode.
The Gaurs come into this match after a disappointing 5-3 loss against ISL side Jamshedpur FC. Carlos Peña’s men were punished for the lack of concentration in the rear guard by conceding five goals to some Red Miners who have had problems in front of goal this season.
However, there were some positives to take away from its exciting opening. His front line has formed an excellent understanding, with players like Iker Guarrotxena, Brandon Fernandes and Noah Sadaoui contributing to the goals.
Goa, the reigning Hero Super Cup champions, had a poor season in the ISL, narrowly missing out on the final playoff spot. They will be looking to string together a positive result against Gokulam Kerala to kick-start their campaign in this tournament.
Meanwhile, the Malabarians were thoroughly beaten by ATK Mohun Bagan by a 5-1 margin in their first match. The Mariners controlled proceedings from the first whistle and opened up their defense time and time again.
The difference in quality between the sides was on display but Gokulam Kerala will be looking to bounce back after the loss. They finished third in the I-League and have conceded the fewest goals this season.
While his confidence might have taken a hit, head coach Francesc Bonet hopes his team will regain their defensive strength to compete against Goa.
Both teams need a win in this match to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Super Cup semi-finals alive.
