Gokulam Kerala FC custodian Shibinraj Kunniyil will be delighted with his performance as he carried his side to the second victory of this campaign. In a plodding game, the 23-year-old arose when his team needed him the most in between the sticks.

Minerva Punjab took the most number of shots in this game (8), but Gokulam Kerala goalkeeper did not seek to allow any balls to go past him.

The shots he faced were not sluggish and any sort of mishandling would lead to a tap-in from the forwards.

More than ever, Kunniyil's punching and catching ability came to a great test when the away side decided to cram the penalty box by stowing in plenty of crosses in search of the equalizer.

Shibinraj Kunniyil was the best player for Gokulam Kerala after the outfield players did not combine well to produce a particularly good game.
