    Star Cement Indian Football League: Diamond Harbour FC took a big step towards clinching the title after registering a 5-2 comeback win against Rajasthan United FC in their Star Cement Indian Football League 2025–26 Championship Phase fixture at Kalyani Stadium on Friday.

    Rajasthan raced into a two-goal lead through a Gerard Artigas brace before suffering a defensive collapse that saw them concede five goals. Hugo Díaz Rodríguez and Kevin Ademola scored two each, while Wahengbam Angousana Luwang also found the net for the Kolkata side. The result extends Diamond Harbour’s lead at the top to 28 points from 12 matches. Rajasthan remain fourth with 17 points and are officially eliminated from the title race.

    Diamond Harbour made a fast start and immediately looked to attack through the flanks. Inside the opening minute, Halicharan Narzary delivered a dangerous cross towards Ademola, but Rajasthan goalkeeper and captain Bhabindra Malla Thakuri came off his line well to punch clear. Despite Diamond Harbour’s early pressure, Rajasthan struck first in the fifth minute. Artigas drove into the box from the left before placing the ball past Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem into the far corner.
