East Bengal goes five points clear atop IWL table

The Indian Women’s League (IWL) 2025-26 is underway after a long international break during which the Blue Tigresses represented the country in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 and also won the bronze medal in the FIFA Series in Kenya.

The IWL resumed with one leftover fixture where two teams from West Bengal, defending IWL champions East Bengal FC, locked horns with Sribhumi Football Club.

The game began with top scorer Fazila Ikwaput breaking the deadlock in the 37th minute. Anthony Andrews’ side then went on to score two more goals as the Ugandan striker found her hat-trick to make it 3-0 for East Bengal in the 60th minute.

Sribhumi did try to make a comeback after Rimpa pulled one back for the Chandanngar outfit, but it was too late for Sujata Kar’s side as East Bengal won the game 3-1 against Sribhumi FC.
