IFL 2025-26: Dempo Secure First Win Of The Season Against Shillong Lajong
Star Cement Indian Football League: Goals from Marcus Joseph, Kapil Hoble, and Richmond Kwasi Owusu helped Dempo Sports Club register their first win of the Star Cement Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Shillong Lajong FC at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda, Goa, on Tuesday.
Shillong Lajong enjoyed the majority of possession throughout the game but struggled to convert it into clear chances, as Dempo maintained a disciplined defensive shape. The result marked Dempo SC’s first win of the season, taking them to six points, while Birendra Thapa's side remained fourth with 11 points.
Samir Naik’s side started on the front foot and tested the Shillong defence early. The breakthrough came in the sixth minute when Marcus Joseph collected a ball after it was put in the air by Lajong defender Rudra Ved on the edge of the box, controlling it well before firing a left-footed strike into the net to give Dempo the lead.
