Punjab FC 1-1 FC Goa
(Nsungusi Effiong 28' - Dejan Drazic 53')
FC Goa and Punjab FC shared the spoils at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the national capital, as Punjab's striker Nsungusi Effiong's tale of two halves proved to be a decisive factor in the game.
Effiong gave Punjab the lead in the 28th minute, with a superb curling finish with his left foot, that gave Hrithik Tiwari no chance in the Goa goal. Punjab carried that lead into half-time, but their game-plan was shred just a few minutes after the break, when Effiong was sent off for violent conduct.
Dejan Drazic ensured Goa took advantage of that with a superb finish from outside the box, with the outside of his right foot after exchanging passes with Brison Fernandes.
Goa are now up to fourth in the ISL standings, while Punjab are eighth, having played a game less.
Inter Kashi 1-2 Mumbai City FC
(Rohit Danu 51' - PN Noufal 45+6', Lallianzuala Chhangte 52')
Mumbai City FC moved up to third in the ISL standings with a 2-1 win away against Inter Kashi, with captain Lallianzuala Chhangte stepping up to score another vital goal for Petr Kratky's team.
It was a deserved win for Mumbai City, who were the better team. They took the lead in first half stoppage time through PN Noufal, who scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time in the first half. Kashi hit back early in the second half through Rohit Danu, but that parity only lasted one minute, as Chhangte scored the winner for Mumbai City FC, for their third win of the season.
NorthEast United 2-1 Jamshedpur FC
(Andy Rodriguez 53', 69' - Raphael Messi Bouli 68')
Two second-half goals from Andy Rodríguez powered NorthEast United FC to a 2-1 victory over Jamshedpur FC in Indian Super League 2025-26 season at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, March 15, 2026.
The Highlanders secured their first victory of the campaign and moved up to seventh in the standings with six points, while Jamshedpur FC suffered their first defeat of the season but remains second with 12 points. Rodríguez was adjudged the Player of the Match for his decisive two-goal performance.
Bengaluru FC 0 - 0 Mohun Bagan SG
Mohun Bagan SG dropped points for the first time this season, as Bengaluru FC held them to a goalless draw at the Sree Kanteerava stadium. The hosts remained sixth in the table with eight points, while Bagan remained top of the ISL with 13 points.
Ryan Williams had an early chance for Bengaluru, running clear of Bagan's defensive line and forcing Vishal Kaith into a sharp save from a narrow angle. Dimi Petratos responded for the visitors with a low piledriver from range that flew narrowly wide of the upright. Both teams were enterprising in their play, but failed to create clear cut chances for the rest of the half, as the teams cancelled each other out and headed into the break without troubling the scorers.
BFC's defensive setup had kept Bagan at bay in the second half as well, but midway through the period, Jamie Maclaren did well to earn a yard of space in the box and let fly, only for Naorem Roshan Singh to half-block the shot as it trickled narrowly wide of goal. Monirul Molla replaced Sunil Chhetri late on, and nearly stole a winner for the hosts, but his looping shot went narrowly over. BFC were almost made to pay soon after as Maclaren's flicked header sent Petratos through on goal, but he sent his shot wide with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu bearing down on him. That proved to be the last chance of the game as BFC held on for the points.
East Bengal FC 1 - 1 Kerala Blasters FC
(Youssef Ezzejjari (P) 10' - Muhammad Ajsal 90+2')
Kerala Blasters earned their first points of the season, scoring an injury-time equaliser to nick the points off East Bengal, who had led for much of the game. The result moved the Blasters into twelfth place, while East Bengal climbed to third.
Kerala Blasters had the worst possible start to the game when Aiban conceded a penalty in the ninth minute of the game for a foul on Youssef Ezzejjari, though replays suggested the striker may have been marginally offside. The Moroccan then stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way, handing East Bengal an early lead. The hosts failed to press home their advantage, and Blasters grew into the game, with Danish Farooq and Kévin Yoke coming close. They nearly equalized on the stroke of half-time when Fallou Ndiaye sent a free header narrowly wide from a corner, but East Bengal took a 1-0 lead going into the break.
The game continued in similar fashion after the break, with East Bengal unable to make their possession count, while the Blasters looked to hit on the break. Substitute Jai Quitongo almost had an instant impact after the hour mark, but his low cross into the box narrowly evaded Muhammad Ajsal. However, Ajsal was not to be denied as he scored the Blasters' equaliser in injury time. The striker was left all alone in the box from Ebindas Yesudasan's corner and all he had to do was guide a header down and into the net, thus earning the Blasters a precious draw.
