2010-11 Season ended on dramatic note ... In their last 2 matches Pune FC defeated Dempo 2-1 and Churchill 3-2 to finished on respectable 5th position ... But these losses cost these 2 teams 2nd position behind Champion Salgaocar, East Bengal won last match against Chirag United, 2-1, to finished on 2nd position ... Young Indian Arrows finished on respectable 9th position in their first year of professional league but due to lack of main sponsors big question mark on their future.

In last match of this season HAL defeated Dempo 4-2 to move out of I-League’s relegation zone ... Four teams — Air India, HAL, JCT and ONGC - finished on 24 points ... But on head to head count (matches played between the four teams), JCT and ONGC were relegated so Air India and HAL survived.

Dempo's Nigerian striker Ranti Martins finished top-scorer with 30 goals ... Indian top-scorer was Indian Arrows striker Jeje Lalpekhulua with 12 goals and Viva's Anil Kumar P.V. finished 2nd with 11 goals.
