I-League: Indian Arrows Records 1-0 Win Against Sudeva Delhi
The restart of the Hero I-League was a joyous occasion for the Indian Arrows as they recorded a memorable 1-0 win against Sudeva Delhi FC at the Naihati Stadium. Shanmugam Venkatesh’s boys fought well even after defender Amandeep was sent off at the stroke of half-time.
With the odds stacked against them, they took the lead when Parthib Gogoi poked the ball into the back of the net in the 60th minute.
Arrows’ resolute defence saw off Sudeva’s attacks for the rest of the contest and ensured that they bagged all 3 points and also maintained the record of zero goals conceded so far in the season.
The standout performer and deserving Hero of the Match was Indian Arrows’ captain on the day, Parthib Sundar Gogoi, who netted the only goal of the match. He robbed Aryan Khokhar of the ball before calmly nutmegging the keeper to poke the ball into the back of the net.

A few minutes later, Gogoi had the opportunity to double his side’s lead but was unlucky as his thundering low effort came off the upright.
Indian Arrows, alongside title-holders Gokulam Kerala, are the only two sides who haven’t conceded a goal in the league this year. The young guns performed as a cohesive unit in their own third as Sudeva failed to muster any real chances even with a man’s advantage for more than 45 minutes and with an advantage of 2-men by the end of the game.
