IFL 2025-26: Updated points table, most goals after Chanamri FC vs Dempo SC

Chanmari FC edge past Golden Eagles at home 2-0
The second matchday of the third matchweek of the IFL Championship stage took us to the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, where the home team Chanmari FC locked horns with Dempo SC.
Chanmari FC has been destroyed back-to-back for two games in the IFL Championship stage after they finished fifth in the group stage. A win is a must for them as they are ready to lock in over Dempo SC, whose form has been good lately. Chanmari FC defeated the Golden Eagles at home 2-0 as Lalruatsanga broke the deadlock and Joao Vitor sealed the game in the 90th minute for Chanmari. A win here pushes them to the fifth spot, where they belong from the first game in the IFL Championship.
Dempo SC fell short against the home team, but they are also getting ready for their next home clash when they face the table toppers Diamond Harbour FC, at home. After a draw and a win over Rajasthan in the past game, this loss might hurt them at first glance.
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

Diamond Harbour stayed atop the points table with seven points above the second-placed team. They have 28 points under their name. This win has put them in a very strong position in the Indian Football League. With this defeat, Dempo SC are totally out of the race for the Championship and made things even more difficult for Shillong, Sreenidhi and the rest of the clubs as well.
So all eyes will be on the Shillong vs Sreenidhi clash. Chanmari FC finished fifth on the table after this win with 14 points, Dempo SC are just one point and one standing behind them, sitting six on the couch.
Players with the most goals after matchday 11 of IFL 2025-26
- Marcus Joseph jr (Dempo SC) – 7 goals
- Hugo Diaz (Diamond Harbour FC) – 7 goals
- Zomuansanga (Aizawl FC) – 6 goals
- Phrangki Buam (Shillong Lajong FC) – 5 goals

What to expect from the next matches of IFL 2025-26
The next game will feature Sreenidhi and Shillong Lajong FC. The result of this fixture will have no direct impact on the battle for the championship, as both teams are out of contention for the title race. But it will be a great opportunity for young players to exhibit their talent. But the clash between these two will be an interesting tie to watch out for. Shillong and Sreenidi are the second and third placed teams, DHFC is miles ahead irrespective of points. The game between these two might be a turnaround in the IFL.
So, hold your breath and keep a calculator beside you as things are becoming pretty interesting with every matchday. Every goal, every save, every single point counts and with such fine margins, you blink, and you are out of the title race.
