IFL 2026-27: Updated points table, most goals after Shillong Lajong vs Sreenidi Deccan

Thapa’s Lajong top the points table after a thrilling win over the Deccan Warriors in Shillong.

The opening match of the Matchweek 3 fixture of the IFL 2026-27 season took us to the SSA Stadium in Meghalaya, where home team Shillong Lajong locked horns with Sreenidi Deccan.

Two unbeaten teams faced each other in a three-goal thriller. After a goalless first half, the home team broke the deadlock after Joedson scored the opening goal in the 50th minute. The Deccan Warriors bounced back strongly after Moringo equalised in the 72nd minute.

But Tremiki’s goal in the 83rd minute sealed the fate of the game. Sreenidi tried making another comeback, but it was too late as Shillong Lajong defeated Sreenidi 2-1.

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

A brief look at the IFL 2026-27 points table

The win takes Shillong atop the points table with seven points in the first three games. After a win and a draw in the first two match weeks, the Deccan Warriors succumbed to their first-ever defeat of the new season. They are placed fourth with four points but may fall below after four more games in this matchweek.

There are still three teams that have yet to open their points tally. The race for the championship stage is heating up. Every point counts, and every goal matters now.

What to expect from other Matchweek 3 fixtures

There are four more games in Matchweek 3, and the points table can still change a lot. Bengaluru United, who are coming off a win against Mohammedan, will lock horns with Real Kashmir, who have just managed to clinch one point so far.

The second game tomorrow will be a cracker of a fixture where Kaizad’s Nagaland host, Gokulam Kerala, is playing. Both teams boast a winning accuracy of 100%, and the Malabarians will need a point to get themselves back on top tomorrow.
