NEROCA FC rallied back succesfully to clinch the five-goal thriller against Gokulam Kerala in an I-League 2019-20 encounter at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium, on Friday.
Pritam Singh (2') gave the hosts an early advantage but Shibil Muhammed (25'), Nathaniel Garcia (40') saw the Malabarians back in the game until a dominant second half by NEROCA paid dividents through Phillip Adjah (48') and Ronald Singh (81') who took advantage of some shoddy defending by the visitors.
Gift Raikhan made three changes to his XI after a 6-2 loss against Mohun Bagan as Bishorjit Singh, Ousmane Diawara and Jiteshwor Singh replaced Marvin Phillip, Zodingliana Ralte and Varun Thokchom.
