Bhubaneswar: Ghanaian forward Elshaddai Acheampong struck twice as defending champions Gokulam Kerala FC kept their winning march to down Indian Arrows 2-1 in the Indian Women’s League in Bhubaneswar on Monday.

The developmental side of AIFF had the early advantage and led for more than an half-hour after scoring through Naorem Priyangka Devi (6’).
