Loveth Njideka Edeh: Kickstart FC finally opened their account in the Indian Women’s League 2025-26 in dramatic fashion, coming from behind to defeat Sribhumi FC 2-1 with two late goals at the Kalyani Stadium on Friday.

Babysana Devi scored the winner from the penalty spot in the 85th minute after Loveth Njideka Edeh (81’) cancelled out Yumnam Kamala Devi’s (12’) first-half spot kick for Sribhumi.

The victory, Kickstart’s first of the campaign after a difficult run of results, lifted them to three points from five matches, while Sribhumi were left to rue missed opportunities as they stayed on six points from four games.
