IFL 2025-26: Updated points table, most goals after Sreenidhi Deccan vs Shillong Lajong FC

Harbour Boys are one point away from making it to Indian Super League

The final matchday of the third matchweek of the IFL Championship stage took us to the Deccan Arena in Hyderabad, where the home team Sreenidhi locked horns with Dempo SC.

It was a must-win game for both sides, and the Sreenidi Deccan took an early lead. Colombian striker David Castaneda scored the first goal in the ninth minute, and Sreenidhi were leading 1-0 until the first half. But the joy was short-lived, and the Reds were handed a penalty near the hour mark.

Shillong Lajong’s top scorer Phrangki Buam converted from the spot and made it 1-1. Both team fought tooth and nail to find the winner, but the game had no winner and the game ended in a stalemate and both team now moves to 22 points, giving Diamond Harbour an upper hand in the title race.

Let’s take a closer look at how the IFL points table has changed after this game and find out how tonight’s results will impact the championship prospects of different teams.

A brief look at the IFL 2025-26 points table

After the final whistle in Hyderabad, celebrations began at the City of Joy as no team can have more points than Diamond Harbour. The Harbour Boys are just one point away from becoming the champions of the Indian Football League.

Technically, Sreenidhi and Shillong are still alive and if Shillong defeats Diamond Harbours and the Harbour Boys lose their final game, they will still have a chance. But there are lots of ifs and buts involved, and given Kibu Vicuna’s side’s current form, it is unlikely that the Kolkata outfit won’t get any points in two games.
