GODAVARI, India (Interstat) — Yhoto Lohe and Syed Suhail Pasha each scored twice as Godavari routed Kuppuraj 5-1 in a football match on Monday. Godavari, the home side, scored three times before halftime and controlled the game from the opening exchanges, while Kuppuraj struggled to contain the hosts’ pressure and managed only a late consolation. The win kept Godavari unbeaten in this competition and across all competitions, while Kuppuraj remained without a victory in either category. Godavari’s quick start set the tone for the match.

Lohe set the tone with goals in the 21st and 30th minutes, repeatedly finding space behind Kuppuraj’s defense. Lohe, who also scored twice in his previous match at Lakecity, was Godavari’s top performer and finished with two goals over the full 90 minutes. His first goal opened the scoring, and his second doubled the home side’s advantage before Kuppuraj could settle. Pasha made it 3-0 in the 35th minute, converting Godavari’s advantage into a commanding first-half lead. Godavari’s midfield kept recycling possession and pushed Kuppuraj deeper for long stretches before the break. Lohe’s statline was 90 minutes and two goals, while Pasha also played the full match and scored twice.

Godavari kept pressing after the break. Pasha added his second goal in the 65th minute, and Thomsong K. completed the home side’s scoring in the 82nd minute. Kuppuraj’s Sangti Shianglong scored in the 90th minute to deny Godavari a clean sheet. Shianglong played the full 90 minutes and recorded the visitors’ only goal, finishing as Kuppuraj’s most effective attacker. The visitors’ late goal came after Godavari had already built a five-goal lead and had largely closed off the spaces Kuppuraj tried to exploit. Kuppuraj pushed more players forward in the final 15 minutes, but Godavari’s back line stayed organized and cleared several deliveries into the box. Godavari’s defense held firm for most of the match and limited Kuppuraj’s chances until the closing minutes.

The result left Godavari’s season record in this competition at 2 wins, 0 losses, and its record across all competitions also at 2 wins, 0 losses. Kuppuraj’s season record in this competition is now 0 wins, 3 losses, and its record across all competitions is also 0 wins, 3 losses. Godavari entered after a 5-3 win at Lakecity in its previous match, while Kuppuraj had lost 3-1 to Lakecity and 4-1 at Nongkseh in its previous two matches. Those results gave Godavari further momentum, and the home side carried that form into the match on Monday with an aggressive start. The visitors’ previous setbacks left them searching for their first win, and Godavari’s early goals removed any chance of a cautious contest.

Godavari’s early pressure turned those recent trends into a one-sided match, with Lohe and Pasha doing most of the damage. Kuppuraj’s best spell came late, but Shianglong’s goal arrived after the home side had already built an insurmountable lead. The home side’s control in midfield allowed Lohe and Pasha to attack repeatedly, and the visitors rarely found sustained possession in the attacking third. Godavari also created several additional openings without adding to the score, keeping Kuppuraj under pressure through the second half. Godavari next plays at Chhaygaon.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Godavari 15, Kuppuraj 2. Interstat’s ELO system had projected Godavari with a 74 percent probability to win. The total score of 6 went under the over/under line of 3.5.
