East Bengal FC and Gokulam Kerala FC earned three points each against SETHU FC and SESA Football Academy respectively on Thursday, while the other two Phase 2 matches of the Indian Women’s League 2025-26 ended in draws.
East Bengal continued their winning run with a closely contested 1-0 win against former IWL champions SETHU FC at the East Bengal Ground.
The decisive moment came shortly after the hour mark when Resty Nanziri made a quick attacking move together with Fazila Ikwaput and Soumya Guguloth. Guguloth’s run down the right created space and despite pressure from the goalkeeper, Ikwaput provided the finishing touch to give East Bengal a 1-0 lead.
The Moshal Girls defended the lead to maintain their perfect record after winning all eight of their matches. They are firmly at the top of the table with 24 points. SETHU, second in the table, is eight points behind, having played the same number of matches.
Gokulam Kerala FC ended its three-match winless streak with a 3-0 win against SESA Football Academy at the East Bengal Ground.
The Malabarians dominated possession against a disciplined SESA FA side and made the breakthrough in first half stoppage time. Goalkeeper Keisham Melody Chanu initiated a move with Shubhangi Singh and Emueje Ogbiagbevha combining to release striker Roja Devi, which ended with a composed effort from distance.

The result moved Gokulam further away from the relegation zone, moving to sixth place in the eight-team league with 10 points from eight matches. SESA remained at the bottom with one point.
