IWL 2025-26: Sethu FC Underway With Comeback Win Over Kickstart
The contest was an engaging one from the outset, with both teams showing attacking intent and a willingness to play on the front foot. Kickstart FC, eager to make a statement early in the season, were rewarded for their positive approach in the 12th minute. A corner from the left caused panic inside the Sethu penalty area, and although goalkeeper Anjila Subba managed to punch away the initial header, the danger was not fully cleared. Yangoijam Kiranbala Chanu chased the loose ball and was brought down inside the box, prompting the referee to point to the spot. Babysana Devi kept her composure and calmly converted the penalty to hand Kickstart the lead.
Sethu FC did not allow the setback to dent their confidence and responded with purpose. Their forwards began to find pockets of space, and the midfield worked hard to push the team higher up the pitch. Lynda Kom Serto came close to restoring parity soon after, only to be denied by a sharp save from Kickstart goalkeeper Maibam Lingthoingambi Devi, who rushed off her line to smother the danger.
