KOZHIKODE: I-league debutants Inter Kashi held their nerve in the final minutes as they scored an equaliser in added-on time to hold former champions Gokulam Kerala FC 2-2 in their first I-league game at EMS Corporation Stadium, Kozhikode on Saturday. Skipper Alejandro Sanchez Lopez (7) and Noufal PN (54) scored for Gokulam while Inter Kashi's goals came from the boots of Edmund Lalrindika (29) and Mohammed Asif (90+2).
As expected the home side took an early lead in the seventh minute. Edu Bedia found Sreekuttan on the left and the Kerala boy made use of his speed and dribbling skills to beat Sumeet Passi. After entering the Inter Kashi box, Sreekuttan gave a low-back cross to Lopez, who slotted the ball into the net.
