Super Cup 2025-2026: Updated Group Standings after Mumbai City FC vs Kerala Blasters FC

East Bengal FC, FC Goa, Punjab FC, and Mumbai City FC have qualified for the semi-finals of the AIFF Super Cup 2025-26.

Mumbai City FC are through to the semifinals of the AIFF Super Cup 2025-26 after winning their last Group match against Kerala Blasters FC. Blasters have been knocked out of the tournament in a very awkward fashion. In the 89th minute, Freddy scored an own goal, having come on as a substitute to finish the game, but conceded a goal instead.

A draw would have seen them progress to the first-ever Super Cup semi-final, but they ultimately failed to do so. Peter Kratky and his men held their nerves and bagged a last-minute winner to go through on the head-to-head rule. Absolute drama at Fatorda Stadium, Goa, to conclude the group fixtures.

Goa is hosting the AIFF Super Cup 2025–2026. The competition began on October 25, 2025, and will conclude with the grand final on November 22, 2025.

But on Wednesday, 5, 2025, AIFF emailed the football federation of Goa that the semifinals will be played on 4th December, 2025. Eventually, the final will be held on the 7th of the same month at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa.

This season, there are 16 teams divided into 4 groups of 4. The roster includes three I-League teams, Gokulam Kerala, Rajasthan United, and Dempo SC, and 13 ISL clubs. After Real Kashmir pulled out of the league due to financial issues, Dempo SC entered in their place.

Only group winners advance to the semifinals, which makes every point and every goal crucial in this year’s tournament. Group Stages have concluded with the match between Kerala Blasters FC and Mumbai City FC.

Four teams that have qualified for the knockout stage are:

• East Bengal FC (Group A)
• FC Goa (Group B)
• Punjab FC (Group C)
• Mumbai City FC (Group D)

That being said, let’s take a look at the standings of the four Groups in the Super Cup.

Group A

Teams in Group A

• East Bengal FC
• Mohun Bagan Super Giant
• Dempo SC (replacement for Real Kashmir)
• Chennaiyin FC

The Red and Gold Brigade from Group A already sealed their place in the semifinals after knocking out their arch-rivals, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, last week, after the Kolkata Derby ended in a stalemate (0-0). East Bengal just went ahead of the Mariners due to their (+4) goal difference. East Bengal FC will face Punjab FC in the semifinals on 4th December 2025, at 4:30 pm at Fatorda Stadium, Goa.

On the other hand, Mohun Bagan Super Giant needs to fix the fitness issues of their foreign recruits before the upcoming ISL. Their campaign was not as impressive as last season when they won both the ISL League Shield and ISL Cup. Fans expected more from their favourite team, but this time they have failed to deliver.

Dempo SC showed a lot of promise after their comeback into Indian Football with their academy boys. But Chennaiyin FC  needs to fix several problems under the guidance of Clifford Miranda before the ISL begins.

Club	MP	W	D	L	Pts	GF	GA	GD
East Bengal FC (Q)	3	1	2	0	5	6	2	4
Mohun Bagan SG	3	1	2	0	5	2	0	2
Dempo SC	3	0	3	0	3	3	3	0
Chennaiyin FC	3	0	1	2	1	1	7	-6

Group B

Teams in Group B

• FC Goa
• North East United FC
• Jamshedpur FC
• Inter Kashi

Although FC Goa lost their last match against NorthEast United FC (2-1), the defending champions FC Goa have already booked their semifinal spot after two dominant wins — 2-0 vs Jamshedpur FC and 3-0 vs Inter Kashi. FC Goa will face Mumbai City FC in the semifinals on 4th December 2025, at 7:30 pm at Fatorda Stadium, Goa.

Meanwhile, NorthEast United FC, the 2025 Durand Cup champions, after sharing points with Inter Kashi and Jamshedpur FC in their first two matches, won against the Group C and defending Super Cup Champions, FC Goa, on 1st November (2-1) and ended their campaign on a positive note before the ISL.

Jamshedpur FC, after losing to Goa and sharing points with NorthEast United, won their last match against Inter Kashi (2-0) and ended their campaign on a positive note as well before the ISL.

For Inter Kashi, the newly-promoted ISL side and reigning I-League champions, it’s been a promising debut. Despite missing head coach Antonio López Habas, they’ve shown determination under Abhijit Mondal.

They have lost their last match against Jamshedpur FC, but they will surely bounce back once their foreign recruits join the team before the ISL.

Club	MP	W	D	L	Pts	GF	GA	GD
FC Goa (Q)	3	2	0	1	6	6	2	4
North East United FC	3	1	2	0	5	6	5	1
Jamshedpur FC	3	1	1	1	4	4	4	0
Inter Kashi	3	0	1	2	1	2	7	-5

Group C

Teams in Group C

• Punjab FC
• Bengaluru FC
• Mohammedan SC
• Gokulam Kerala

There was nothing to differentiate between the two clubs, Punjab FC and Bengaluru FC, after their first two group stage matches. They stood on the same podium in terms of points and goal difference.

They faced each other today, and the match ended in a goalless draw after 90 minutes. According to Rule 12.2.3.2.4.3 of the competition, the clash went to the penalty shootouts.

Punjab FC won in a penalty shootout (5–4), eliminating Bengaluru FC from the tournament. Ryan Williams missed the penalty kick for Bengaluru FC.

Struggle continues for Mohammedan SC both off and on the field. They lost all their group stage matches without scoring a goal. They need to fix several problems before the ISL starts.

Meanwhile, Gokulam Kerala suffered setbacks in their opening games but bounced back against Mohammedan SC with a thumping win (3-0).

Punjab FC will face Oscar Bruzon’s East Bengal FC in the semi-finals on 4th December 2025, at Fatorda Stadium at 4:30 pm.

Club	MP	W	D	L	Pts	GF	GA	GD
Punjab FC (Q)	3	2	1	0	9	11	4	7
Bengaluru FC	3	2	1	0	6	10	5	5
Gokulam Kerala	3	1	0	2	3	3	7	-4
Mohammedan SC	3	0	0	3	0	0	8	-8

Group D

Teams in Group D

• Mumbai City FC
• Rajasthan United FC
• Kerala FC
• Sporting Delhi

Mumbai City FC are through to the semifinals of the Super Cup 2025-26 after winning their last Group match against Kerala Blasters FC.

Peter Kratky and his men held their nerves and bagged a last-minute winner to go through on the head-to-head rule. Absolute drama at Fatorda Stadium, Goa, to conclude the group stage. Kerala Blasters FC have been knocked out of the tournament.

Rajasthan United and Sporting Delhi shared points in their previous match, which Rajasthan could have won as they were ahead, but an equaliser in the end ensured Sporting Delhi their first point in this year’s tournament.

Club	MP	W	D	L	Pts	GF	GA	GD
Mumbai City (Q)	3	2	0	1	6	5	2	3
Kerala Blasters FC	3	2	0	1	6	4	1	3
