Former Champions Bengaluru FC: Former Champions Bengaluru FC made a winning start in the Indian Super League 2025-26 season, riding on a goal in each half from N Sivasakthi and Sunil Chhetri to beat Sporting Club Delhi 2-0 in Match 5 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

The win makes the Blues the third side, after champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Saturday and Jamshedpur FC earlier in the day, to post wins from their respective opening encounters.

The hosts had a lively start to the match with both Ryan Williams and Ashique Kuruniyan coming close to scoring inside the first five minutes. Williams won the ball off Babovic in Delhi’s half, and with a strong run towards the box, hit a low shot from outside, which went just wide of the post. In the next minute, Nikhil Poojary floated in a lovely cross from the right, which was met by Ashique at the far post. SC Delhi goalkeeper Vishal Yadav reacted quickly and flicked the ball to safety.
