IFL 2026-27: Updated points table, most goals after Samaleswari vs Rajasthan United

Desert Warriors finally get their first point of the season with a win over Samaleswari in Rourkela

The final game day of the Matchweek 3 fixture of the IFL 2026-27 season witnessed a double header, where we witnessed a total of five goals across two games.

The opening game of the day took us to the Fatorda, where Dempo’s unbeaten run came to a halt by another unbeaten team from Mizoram. Rane broke the deadlock for the Whites in less than 120 seconds, but Thaarpuia equalised in the 23rd minute, and Aineh scored the winner to win it all for Chanmari.

The second game of the day took us to Rourkela, where two teams with 0 points locked horns. Rajasthan were yet to score a goal in the tournament. After a goalless first half, Thomyo scored the first goal for the Desert Warriors, and Brijesh scored the second goal in the 86th minute to seal the fate of the game.

Let’s take a closer look at how the IFL 2026-27 points table has changed after this game.
