The two sides entered this encounter with contrasting momentum, but what unfolded over the 90 minutes defied expectations.

IoT FC had been flawless in their previous three games — opening the season with a 2–1 win over Waves, followed by a nail-biting encounter against DK Pharma where they secured all three points with a stoppage-time winner.

Meanwhile, Kalina Rangers were struggling for consistency. Having played five games, they had managed just one win. Their recent fixtures produced mixed outcomes: after leading Bombay Gymkhana 3–1 at halftime, they collapsed to lose 5–3; they then battled to a heated 2–2 draw against Hope, before suffering heartbreak again against MH Oranje FC by conceding a stoppage-time free kick in their last outing.

On paper, momentum heavily favoured IoT FC. But football is played over 90 minutes — and Kalina proved exactly that.

Kalina started the game on the front foot and were rewarded in the 38th minute when Tyson Patel scored a stunning opener. Muthu delivered a curling ball to the far post, where Tyson expertly chested it down, took down Jayraj Ghelani, and buried a peach of a finish into the bottom-left corner.

The second half, however, belonged entirely to Kalina Rangers as they added three more goals.

The Goan sensation Faheez Mohammed, who has now scored in three of his four games since joining Kalina Rangers, struck again in the 65th minute. Tyson initiated a quick counterattack and threaded a delightful through ball to Faheez, who was brought down inside the penalty area by Bilal Modak. The foul earned Bilal a straight red card, reducing IoT FC to ten men. Faheez stepped up and calmly sent goalkeeper Yashleel the wrong way, slotting the ball into the right.

With momentum firmly in their favour and control of the game established, Kalina added a third in the 83rd minute. It was a beautifully constructed team goal, starting from the back. Shoaib Baig drove into the IoT half and played a perfectly weighted through pass to the right wing. The winger timed his movement well and squared the ball across goal for Soudagar Mote, who tapped it into an open net.

Deep into stoppage time, Shoaib Baig put the final nail in the coffin. Displaying quick feet and brilliant control, he dribbled past three defenders inside the box before finishing clinically to cap off a sensational performance and seal a memorable win for Kalina Rangers.

This season of the MPL continues to deliver drama at every turn. Stay tuned for continued coverage.

After a challenging start to the season, the Rangers delivered a masterclass in attacking football to overcome Waves FC with a convincing 4-0 scoreline.

The victory was defined by a clinical first-half performance and a late flourish from Craig Dsouza.

The fixture carried immense weight for both sides, as both had entered the pitch searching for their first points of the new season. Newly promoted Waves FC had previously fallen to the defending champions, India On Track, in a spirited season opener, while Kalina Rangers were eager to bounce back from a heavy defeat against Reliance Foundation Young Champs.

From the opening whistle at the Neville D’Souza Ground, Kalina Rangers appeared the more composed and dominant side. Much of this control was attributed to Tyson Patel, who excelled in his new role, anchoring the midfield with flawless positioning and providing line-breaking passes that kept Waves FC on the back foot.

The breakthrough for the Rangers arrived as early as the 6th minute through a perfectly executed corner routine. Craig Dsouza took a short corner before delivering a precise, outswinging cross into the heart of the penalty area. Muhammad Shameen rose highest, connecting with a towering header that left the Waves goalkeeper with no chance and gave Kalina the early advantage.

The pressure didn’t subside, and in the 32nd minute, Shoaib Baig reflected his individual brilliance. After driving solo through the defensive line, Baig found space at the edge of the box and unleashed a low, driven shot into the bottom left corner, ensuring Kalina went into the halftime break with a comfortable 2-0 cushion.

Waves FC emerged for the second half with renewed intent, looking to claw their way back into the contest. Kunal Mangela was a standout for the newcomers, putting in a shift of tireless defensive work to thwart further attacks, while Alex Erangle worked tirelessly on the wings to provide service into the final third.

Waves created their best opportunity when Trushan Nagi sent a dangerous low square pass across the six-yard box, but Sujal Patil was unable to convert the sitter, a miss that ultimately proved costly.

As the match entered its final stages, Kalina Rangers completely took the game away from their opponents. In the 90th minute, Shoaib Baig once again turned provider, darting down the wing and squaring a perfect pass for Craig Dsouza to tap in at the far post. Craig wasn’t finished, however, and just two minutes later, he produced the goal of the game. Picking up the ball nearly 25 yards out, he unleashed a thunderous rocket that flew into the bottom corner.

While Kalina Rangers CFF celebrate a vital three points to kickstart their climb up the MPL table, Waves FC will head back to the drawing board as they search for their first points in the top flight.

Kalina Rangers struck first, wasting no time in taking the lead. Just three minutes into the match, they earned a penalty, and Clinton Dsouza converted it calmly to make it 1-0. But their advantage was short-lived. Within five minutes, RFYC responded through Lalmuanpuia, who found the equaliser with a composed finish.

That goal swung the momentum firmly toward RFYC. Their young attackers pressed relentlessly, forcing Kalina’s defence into difficult situations. In the 23rd minute, Lalmuanpuia struck again to put RFYC ahead, and almost immediately after, he completed a quick hat-trick, turning the match on its head. By halftime, RFYC held a commanding 3-1 lead, while Kalina were left searching for answers.

The second half began with Kalina Rangers pushing forward aggressively in hopes of a comeback. They created pressure higher up the pitch, but RFYC stayed compact, defended smartly and waited for their opportunities to break forward.

Their patience paid off in the 80th minute when Ayush added a fourth goal, extending RFYC’s control of the match. Eight minutes later, Viraj slotted in another to make it 5-1, sealing a dominant opening-day victory.

For RFYC, it was a near-perfect performance – energetic, clinical and full of confidence. For Kalina Rangers, the result serves as a tough setback in their first outing, but the early moments of the match showed they have the potential to regroup and respond in the games to come.

Both sides now look ahead to their next fixtures, with RFYC carrying strong momentum and Kalina aiming to bounce back.
