Sailors off to winning start with 2-1 victory over Real Kashmir
Head coach Raman Rai's Indian Navy side lined up in a traditional 4-3-3, with Bhaskar Roy captaining from goal and the attacking trio of Sreyas V G, Roshan Panna and Vijay Marandi. Real Kashmir's Ishfaq Ahmed fielded a technically strong 4-3-2-1 setup, headlined by Russian striker Marat Tareck and midfielders Modou Mbengue and Franck William Sessegnon.
The Sailors struck early in the 6th minute when Roshan Panna made a slick run down the right and delivered a low cross into the box. Vijay Marandi timed his run well and tapped it in with his knee, handing Navy the lead amid loud cheers from the local crowd.
Real Kashmir responded with urgency. Sessegnon and Tareck were involved in multiple buildups, but Navy keeper Bhaskar Roy was solid between the sticks. The Snow Leopards came close on a couple of occasions, including a strong run by Tareck and a near-perfect through ball by Sessegnon to Ahteeb in the 22nd minute, but couldn't find the back of the net.
Real Kashmir resumed the second half on the front foot, trying to press higher up. Their persistence paid off in the 64th minute when Sessegnon levelled the score. The Ivorian made a sharp run behind Navy's backline to latch onto a sublime long ball from Seila Toure and finished confidently past Bhaskar Roy.
But the Sailors were quick to regain their lead. Just six minutes later, in the 70th minute, Roshan Panna once again turned provider. His low diagonal pass found Sreyas V G inside the right edge of the box, who finished with precision from his right foot to restore Navy's advantage at 2-1.
Meanwhile, Diamond Harbour FC continued their winning run in the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup with a commanding 8-1 victory over BSF Football Club in a Group B clash, here at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan (KBK). Brazilian striker Clayton Silva starred with four goals (2', 35', 71', 90+3') while Slovenian forward Luka Majcen netted a brace (7', 39'). Paul (53') and Jobby Justin (67') added to the tally. BSF FC's lone goal came from Kishori in the 90th minute.

Indian Navy FT 2 (Vijay Marandi, Sreyas V G) Real Kashmir FC 1 (Franck William)

Marseille Rope In Brazilian Forward From Feyenoord On Club Record Deal
Reports claim that the 25-year-old Igor Paixao put pen to paper on a five-year deal valued at around the 35 million euros mark, a record fee for the French side. French side Marseille completed the move to rope in Brazilian forward Igor Paixao from Dutch club Feyenoord on Friday as the Ligue 1 side added firepower to their ranks. Reports claim that the 25-year-old put pen to paper on a five-year deal valued at around the 35 million euros mark, a record fee for the French side. Paixo, who began his youth career at Cortiba before making his senior debut for the club in the year 2019, went on to play for the Brazilian side up until the 2022 season, including a loan spell at Londrina in the 2020/21 campaign. The striker joined Feyenoord in 2022, and led the Dutch side to the league title the following season. In the recently concluded season of the Eredivisie, he found the back of the net 18 times and set up his teammates with 19 assists. He was befittingly named player of the year for his contributions towards his side's success. The Brazilian also got the telling touch for the De StadionClub in their Dutch Cup triumph over Nijmegen. The forward was also rewarded for his showings at club level with a national team call-up as he donned the famous canary yellow drip of the South American nation in 2023 with the Olympic team. Feyenoord finished the recently concluded 2024/25 season of the Dutch top-flight third, behind winners PSV and second-placed Ajax, with 68 points to their name from 34 outings, which sealed their berth in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. PSV clinched the title following a shocking run of results for Amsterdam-based Ajax, who capitulated the season towards the end of the campaign with a string of subpar showings.

Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers? Inside the Mega Deal That Could Rival Shohei Ohtani's $700M Shockwave
Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers (Image via Getty) The city of Los Angeles thrives on spectacle - whether it's Oscar night or the next blockbuster sports deal. And today, as the Lakers circle Luka Doncic in franchise-shaping negotiations, all eyes are on them not just for the basketball but for how much this deal reminds the city of another record-breaking move: Shohei Ohtani 's $700 million contract with the Dodgers. The stakes, stories, and showmanship are all here - making LA the epicenter of sports drama once again. Inside the Luka Doncic Contract Talks Starting August 2, 2025, the Lakers are positioned to offer Luka Doncic a massive four-year, $229 million extension - the ultimate endorsement of his future as the face of the franchise in a post-LeBron James era. Insiders expect Doncic's camp to pursue a three-year, $160.8 million extension with a player option, structuring it to maximize his earnings potential when he qualifies for an even bigger 'supermax' contract down the road. This strategic approach isn't just about the present - it's Luka laying the groundwork for both flexibility and potential historical earnings. But Luka's message to the Lakers is clear: win now, or else. The Slovenian superstar has made it known that every year he dons the purple and gold, he expects to chase championships, not just headlines. For LA, this is about more than numbers - it's a legacy-defining moment, with title hopes and global relevance on the line. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Shohei Ohtani Parallel: LA's Megastar Blueprint Shohei Ohtani (Image via Getty) When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers in a jaw-dropping $700 million deal, it wasn't just a baseball story - it rewrote the rules for how LA sports franchises approach superstardom. In fact, Lakers legends and current ownership haven't shied from the comparison. Both Ohtani and Luka Doncic are global sensations: one ruled the baseball diamond, the other commands the hardwood, and each brings legions of fans from far beyond U.S. borders. The real parallels: - Global Superstar Status: Both arrived in LA as international megastars, carrying the weight of global expectations. - Franchise Changers: Their arrivals instantly shifted their teams' outlooks from hopeful to championship-or-bust. - Business and Branding: Ohtani's deal was about more than his play - it was a seismic event for ticket sales, sponsorships, and turning the Dodgers into a worldwide brand. The Lakers anticipate a similar windfall with Doncic, given his marketability and reach. Even Dodgers management and cross-town sports figures have commented on the significance of these moves. The common thread: these deals aren't just about winning now, but cementing LA teams as perennial world-stage contenders. Critical Differences: NBA vs. MLB Money Moves While Ohtani's $700 million contract made headlines for its size, the fine print was even more fascinating - most of his earnings are deferred, giving the Dodgers payroll flexibility baseball's system allows. In contrast, the NBA's hard salary cap means every cent the Lakers commit to Luka Doncic is tightly regulated. This means the Lakers' front office must be even more creative to build a contending team around their new superstar, adding intrigue to every roster decision. Ownership, Power, and the LA Sports Landscape The connection between these two stories runs even deeper. Dodgers owner Mark Walter is now also the majority owner of the Lakers , turning the city's two most glamorous teams into sibling juggernauts under his financial stewardship. Social media has run wild with images of Ohtani in Lakers gear, and LA sports fans are awash in dreams of dual championships. From ownership suites to late-night TV segments, the negotiations for Luka have become as much about LA's identity as the roster. Comments from managers to basketball legends highlight just how interwoven LA's sports legacy has become - with Luka Doncic and Ohtani as the leading men. Signing Luka isn't only a bet on basketball. It's a declaration that the Lakers don't just chase stars - they set the standard for how a global franchise is run. With Ohtani now in Dodgers blue and Doncic potentially in Lakers gold, LA is cultivating an era where the stakes - and the swagger - have never been higher. In Hollywood, spectacle is tradition. And as the parallels between Luka Doncic's and Ohtani's deals captivate fans, it's clear these megastars aren't just playing for championships - they're playing for the history books, and for the city's next great moment in the spotlight.
