Jamshedpur FC 3-2 Gokulam Kerala FC HIGHLIGHTS, Super Cup 2023: Sawyer, Farukh & Pandita score; JFC extend unbeaten streak

I thought it will be a difficult game against Gokulam because they had nothing to loose. But I am really pleased with everybody. I am delighted from the response the team gave. I am expecting a good game against Bengaluru FC.
