Churchill Brothers Secure Historic ISL Home Opener

Churchill Brothers SC achieved a historic 2-1 victory against Mumbai City FC in their opening home match of Indian Super League Season 13. The match, held at Fatorda Stadium on October 11, 2026, saw Churchill Brothers debut in the ISL with a win.

Gaurav Bora etched his name in the club's history by scoring their first-ever ISL goal in the 57th minute, heading in a cross after a short corner. This was followed by a second goal from Sebastian Gutierrez in the 86th minute, who finished from inside the box after being set up by Stendley Fernandes.

Despite Mumbai City FC's early possession and attempts, including a late penalty converted by Sergio Llamas in stoppage time, they were unable to overcome Churchill Brothers' determined performance. The Islanders' late consolation goal was not enough to prevent Churchill Brothers from claiming a significant victory in their inaugural home fixture.
