It was a positive run out for the Gaurs in front of a packed house on a night when they launched their official new orange home jersey. The Goan side will now look to replicate the same result when they take on Indian Arrows on Tuesday night ahead of their inaugural ISL game against Northeast United FC on 1st October.
