IFL 2026-27: Gokulam Kerala win 2-1 at Nagaland United as Bengaluru United draw Real Kashmir 2-2

On November 14, 2026, the second game day of Matchweek 3 in the IFL 2026-27 season produced seven goals across two fixtures as Bengaluru United drew 2-2 with Real Kashmir in Bengaluru and Gokulam Kerala beat Nagaland United 2-1 in Nagaland.

Gokulam’s victory moved them to the top of the IFL table with nine points, and Crislan leads the Golden Boot race with four goals. The source describes Gokulam’s current run as a turnaround from being on the verge of relegation last season to emerging as strong promotion contenders. The matchday consisted of a double header played across two venues.

At the Silicon Valley of India, Real Kashmir — referred to in the source as the Snow Leopards — looked set for their first win after taking a 2-1 lead through goals from Zahir and Shanid. Bengaluru United’s Casseres struck in the 90th minute to level the score and ensure the match finished 2-2. The draw contributed to the seven-goal total across the two fixtures on the day.

In Nagaland, two previously unbeaten sides met and Gokulam took the lead in the 18th minute through Crislan. Zomuana pulled the hosts level with a 96th-minute goal, but Da Silva converted a penalty in the 99th minute to secure a 2-1 win for Gokulam Kerala. The late sequence decided the result at the Nagaland venue.

Following the results, Bengaluru United are now level on points with Sreenidi. Real Kashmir remain without a win and sit on two points, while Nagaland United remain in sixth place with three points after suffering their first defeat of the campaign.

The final game week of Matchweek 3 features another double header tomorrow, starting with Dempo against Chanmari at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa, where a win would allow Dempo to level Gokulam atop the table on nine points. The evening fixture will see Samaleswari face Rajasthan United at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Rourkela; both Samaleswari and Rajasthan United are yet to register a point this season.

Dempo’s result at Fatorda can directly affect the summit of the table, and the two fixtures scheduled for tomorrow — Dempo vs Chanmari and Samaleswari vs Rajasthan United — will complete the third matchweek’s slate of games.
