TRAU returned to winning ways by defeating Namdhari with a 2-1 scoreline. The game lacked stand-out moments, with TRAU taking the lead through an own goal and extending it with goals from Issahak Nuhu Seidu and Harmanpreet Singh. Namdhari managed to pull one back but fell short in the end.

Mohammedan Sporting Club faced a tough challenge against Churchill Brothers but emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline. Eddie Hernandez’s brace helped Mohammedan secure the win, despite Churchill’s spirited performance. With this result, Mohammedan inches closer to the title, sitting eight points ahead of the nearest competitor.

Inter Kashi continued their good run with a commanding 2-0 victory over Delhi FC. Haobam Tomba Singh and Peter Hartley found the back of the net, extending Inter Kashi’s unbeaten streak to seven games. The win propels them to 5th place in the table.

Real Kashmir faced disappointment as they could only manage a draw against Shillong Lajong. Adnan Ayub gave Real Kashmir the lead, but a late equalizer from Renan Paulino meant the points were shared. Real Kashmir now sits nine points behind Mohammedan in the standings.

Gokulam Kerala showed their class with a 4-3 win over Aizawl.
