Durand Cup: Luka winner gives DHFC full points against Md Sporting
Kolkata, July 28 (UNI) Debutants Diamond Harbour FC (DHFC), rode on Slovenian poacher Luka Majcen's injury time winner, to register a historic 2-1 victory against former champions and local giants Mohammedan Sporting in the first Group B clash here today. Thokchom Adison Singh scored for the Kolkata giants in the first half with DHFC's Sairuatkima drawing parity in the second for the debutants at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK). Just as it looked that the match was petering out into a tame draw, Luka penetrated the Mohammedan defence, got lucky with a rebound and calmly slotted home the winner to give his side full three points. Celebrated DHFC coach Kibu Vicuna began with a four-man defence and three-man forward line. Mohammedan gaffer Mehraj Ud Din Wadoo, on the other hand, went in with a 3-4-3 formation to begin proceedings. The first goal came after the half-hour mark and before that the only chance of note had fallen to the I-League 2 champions, when new recruit from Brazil, Clayton Da Silva hit his shot just wide off the Mohammedan post. Ashley Alban Koli it was with the assist as he found Thokchom's run from the right with a floater from centre of midfield. The diminutive Mohammedan winger controlled well and burst in with pace. With experienced defender Melroy Assisi in attendance, Thokchom drove towards the near post with keeper Mirshad in position. The low drive caught Mirshad's palm, deflected onto his thighs and bulged the net. Vicuna did not waste time as Mohammedan took the lead into the half-time break. He made two changes, bringing in Luka Majcen and Samuel in place of Clayton and Naro Hari Shrestha up front. That brought immediate results just after the break, as Samuel's corner from the right saw DHFC defender Sairuatkima meet it with a strong header which beat Subhajit Bhattacharjee in the Mohammedan goal. Former Chennayin FC star Sajal Bag then had the best chance of the rest of the half when his pile driver from range in the 83rd minute, shaved Mirshad's palm and struck the post. Mohammedan did play good football throughout the match and looked stronger in finish, but Luka Majcen's opportunism inside the box, changed the course of the match. Samuel chested down to put Luka through and after his first shot was saved by Subhajit, it deflected off Dinesh Meetei in the Mohammedan defence and rolled back in the Slovenian's path, who finished with elan.

NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Superstar Expected to Finalize $229 Million Lakers Extension After Jordan Brand Tour
Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers (Image via Getty) Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is widely expected to finalize a four-year, $229 million contract extension with the franchise after completing his current Jordan Brand tour across the United States. The decision comes at a pivotal time for both Doncic and the Lakers, as the organization continues to build a championship-caliber roster around the Slovenian guard. Deal Likely to be Sealed in Los Angeles According to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel, Luka Doncic is scheduled to meet with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and other top executives once his tour ends in Los Angeles this Saturday. Siegel reported, 'It is widely expected that Doncic will meet with Rob Pelinka and the Lakers ' brass upon his return to Los Angeles and officially sign a massive contract extension.' The tour itinerary includes stops in New York City on Tuesday and Chicago on Thursday, wrapping up in LA over the weekend. Doncic is returning to the U.S. after training overseas in preparation for EuroBasket 2025. Los Angeles Lakers' Aggressive Efforts to Secure Doncic's Future Luka Doncic. Image via: Juan Ocampo/NBAE via Getty Images Since their disappointing early exit from the 2024-25 season, the Lakers have taken significant steps to prove to Luka Doncic that he is the centerpiece of their future. These efforts include: • Selling a majority stake of the franchise to billionaire Mark Walter • Acquiring Deandre Ayton to strengthen the pick-and-roll game • Signing former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart — a move that came after Doncic personally pushed for it As Siegel noted, 'The Lakers have made it their mission to show Luka that this is his organization now, and they have been making moves to appease him since February's trade with the Dallas Mavericks.' The Trade That Shocked the NBA Luka Doncic 's trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers on February 2 sent shockwaves through the NBA community — including Doncic himself. The five-time All-Star was reportedly so stunned by the news that he threw his phone in frustration, clearly unprepared for the blockbuster midseason move. Impressive Performance in LA Despite Disruption Despite the surprise trade, Luka Doncic quickly found his footing in Los Angeles. Over 28 games with the Lakers, he averaged: Stat Category Stat Line Points Per Game 28.2 Rebounds Per Game 8.1 Assists Per Game 7.2 Field Goal % 43.8% Three-Point % 37.9% These numbers reflect a seamless transition for Doncic, who managed to maintain his All-NBA level production amid roster changes and the pressure of joining one of the league's most storied franchises. All Eyes on the 2025-26 Season Looking ahead, Luka Doncic is poised to enter the upcoming season with a full training camp under his belt and a stronger supporting cast. Teaming up with LeBron James and a retooled Los Angeles Lakers lineup that now includes Ayton and Smart, expectations are high that LA can move past the early playoff exits that have plagued them in recent years. Also read: NBA Trade News: Los Angeles Lakers Add Villanova's 6-foot-8 All-Time Scorer to Support Luka-LeBron Power Duo and Improve Title Odds If Luka Doncic indeed inks the expected $229 million deal, it will be a strong signal that both sides are committed to building a new era of dominance in Los Angeles.

Lionesses' triumph: England go to Downing Street to celebrate Euro 2025 victory
LONDON (AP) — After being greeted by cheering fans for their arrival on home soil, the Lionesses went to Downing Street for a celebratory reception following their Women's European Championship triumph. HT Image England successfully defended its title by beating world champion Spain in a shootout in the final in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday. Having become the first England team to win a major tournament in a foreign country, the Lionesses left their hotel in Zurich on Monday morning with captain Leah Williamson carefully escorting the trophy to the bus. On returning to England, the team travelled to Westminster, central London, for a reception hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. The team arrived just before 7pm, with Number 10 Downing Street decorated for the occasion with St George's flags — also known as the flag of England — draped over windows and bunting along the railings. England head coach Sarina Wiegman told Sky Sports News the Downing Street reception was 'very, very special'. 'Downing Street, you don't come there normally and it was really nice how they built it up like this,' she said, gesturing towards the flags and bunting around Number 10. 'It is very special to be able to go inside and also in the garden. The people there were very nice, they also put up some pictures of what we have done at the Euros. 'It was lovely, a very warm welcome. I've felt love all over but today even more so.' When asked about speculation that she could be in line for an honorary damehood, the Dutchwoman said: 'I haven't thought about that. I feel so much respect from England, the Royal Family too. 'I think the most important thing is feeling valued. It's very special to get so much respect from England.' Following almost a month of competition in Switzerland, the team's airplane branded with the word 'home' touched down at Southend Airport in south east England on Monday afternoon. In a post on X, the team shared a photo of the Euros trophy draped in an England flag on a seat of the plane. Holding the trophy, Williamson was first to step off the plane alongside head coach Sarina Wiegman. Outside of the airport, crowds were lined up to welcome the team. On Sunday fans erupted with joy across England after Chloe Kelly lashed in her spot kick to give her team a 3-1 win on penalties, after a 1-1 draw following extra time. According to the BBC, a peak live audience of 12.2 million watched the game across its platforms, making it the most watched television moment of 2025 across all TV broadcasters. It was back-to-back European trophies for England and yet another final that Kelly had a huge impact on, after also coming on as a substitute during the Euro 2022 trophy match and scoring the winner against Germany in extra time to clinch a 2-1 victory. King Charles III said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following its win. 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can,' he added. A homecoming open-top bus parade follows in central London on Tuesday, where there will be a procession along The Mall and the celebration will finish with a staged ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace. Defender Jess Carter has not joined her team-mates for the celebrations in London as she has returned to the United States ahead of Gotham FC's NWSL match against the Chicago Stars on Saturday. 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation,' British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' ___ AP soccer:
