Durand Cup 2025: Namdhari FC Beat Indian Air Force To Go Top Of Group A
Namdhari FC beat Indian Air Force 4-2 in the 134th Durand Cup at VYBK. Goals from Dasilva, Amandeep, Dharmpreet, and Lotjem secured the win. Namdhari leads Group A. Namdhari FC continued their winning run at the 134th Durand Cup with a commanding 4-2 victory over the Indian Air Force Football Team in a crucial Group A clash, here at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK). Samuel K opened the scoring for the Airmen in the 7th minute, but the I-League side responded with goals from Cledson Dasilva (penalty, 37'), Amandeep Singh (45'), and second-half strikes from Dharmpreet Singh (60') and substitute Seilenthang Lotjem (74') to secure all three points. Despite a late goal from Sankit in the 78th minute, the Airmen could not mount a comeback. How Namdhari Beat Indian Air Force? Both teams came out with attacking intent, starting in a 4-4-2 formation. Indian Air Force coach Priya Darshan relied on the experienced attacking duo of Saurav Sadhukhan and Aman Khan, while Namdhari FC head coach Harpreet Singh fielded a strong XI led by Brazilian striker Cledson Dasilva and winger Bhupinder Singh. It was the Airmen who drew first blood in the 7th minute when midfielder Samuel K capitalised on a loose ball after a cross from Saurav. His initial attempt was blocked, but on the rebound, he volleyed it into the far post, giving Namdhari keeper Niraj Kumar no chance. Namdhari responded with a flurry of attacks, with Dasilva missing two clear chances in the 12th and 35th minutes. Their persistence paid off in the 37th when defender Lamine Moro was fouled inside the box by Aman Khan. Dasilva stepped up and calmly slotted the penalty into the bottom right corner, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to level the score. Momentum shifted firmly in Namdhari's favour just before the break. In the 45th minute, a long throw-in by Jaskaranpreet Singh was whipped into the box by Amandeep, and Air Force defence misjudged it and it went into the net, giving Namdhari a 2-1 lead heading into halftime. Namdhari maintained their attacking tempo in the second half. In the 60th minute, Jaskaranpreet once again initiated a move down the left wing, delivering a precise ball into the box that substitute Dharampreet Singh finished clinically to extend the lead to 3-1. Namdhari FC got into trouble when Manbir Singh was sent off in the 73rd minute for a reckless challenge, reducing them to 10 men. However, that didn't stop them as Dasilva sliced through the Airmen's defence and squared the ball to substitute Seilenthang Lotjem, who smashed it into the near post to make it 4-1. Namdhari's defensive lapse allowed Sankit to redeem himself somewhat in the 78th minute. He pounced on a loose ball after a failed clearance and slotted home with the outside of his left foot to pull one back for the Air Force. The Airmen pressed hard in the closing stages, with Aqib and Sankit both attempting to reduce the deficit, but Namdhari's backline, led by Lamine Moro and Gurshan Singh, held firm. With this win, Namdhari FC sit comfortably at the top of Group A with six points from two matches, strongly positioning themselves for a spot in the quarterfinals ahead of the crucial clash against East Bengal on Wednesday (August 6). view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Valuespending' Is Changing The Way We Shop, 62% Of Consumers Now Say They Consider A Brand's Values When Purchasing
A brand's values are becoming central in consumers' shopping decisions, a new study from Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:LSPD) shows. The survey, which looked at 2,000 shoppers across the U.S. and Canada, found that 92% of people consider themselves "somewhat intentional" with their purchases. Additionally, 45% of shoppers say that they will be considering a brand's values in future purchasing decisions. Lightspeed is calling this shift towards more mindful and value-centric shopping, "valuespending." Don't Miss: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. Tired of Grid Failures and Charging Deserts? This Startup Has a Solar Fix and $25M+ in Sales — While price (78%) and quality (67%) still remain the most critical things consumers are considering when making a purchase, an increasing number (62%) say that it's important that the brands they are buying from align with their personal values. "Consumers today are balancing cost with conscience," Lightspeed's founder and CEO Dax Dasilva said in the report. "It's not always about the lowest price—it's about choosing brands that reflect their values. And when those values align, loyalty can follow more easily. This new era of intentional spending—Valuespending—is reshaping retail and pushing businesses to be more transparent and authentic." For 32% of the people Lightspeed surveyed, considering a company's values is new. The mindset shift is driven by a number of factors, the study found, including the belief that their spending has a larger impact than ever before, social media influence, and the understanding that we live in a more divided world where every dollar can be politicized.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's Gen Z that's leading the valuespending charge. A whopping 96% of Gen Z consumers told Lightspeed that they shop intentionally, with 66% saying it's very important to them that purchases align with their personal values. '[Gen Z] are the trendsetters. ... They've come into target as the consumer that everybody wants to sell to,' Dasilva told USA a trendsetter doesn't come without its own pressures, however. Some 32% of Gen Z shoppers told Lightspeed that they worry about being judged for purchasing from the wrong brands. 'There's that element of peer pressure that we make statements with the things we purchase or the things we wear,' Dasilva told USA Today. Valuespending may be changing the way we shop, but it's not necessarily simplifying it. "These insights show us that consumer expectations are evolving," Dasilva said in the Lightspeed report. "From sustainability to social impact, the brands that listen, adapt, and 'walk the talk' can thrive in this age of Valuespending."

Lightspeed Cuts Revenue Outlook on Weakening Consumer Confidence
(Bloomberg) -- Sluggish consumer spending has caused Lightspeed Commerce Inc. to lower its outlook for the year ahead. They Built a Secret Apartment in a Mall. Now the Mall Is Dying. Chicago Transit Faces 'Doomsday Scenario,' Regional Agency Says LA Faces $1 Billion Budget Hole, Warns of Thousands of Layoffs New York Subway Ditches MetroCard After 32 Years for Tap-And-Go Libraries Warn They Could Be 'Cut off at the Knees' by DOGE The Montreal-based payments company cut its revenue guidance for fiscal 2025 to 18% year-over-year growth from 20%. The company attributed the change to lower transaction-based revenue, which comprises more than 60% of total revenue, Chief Executive Officer Dax Dasilva said Monday on BNN Bloomberg Television. Lightspeed shares fell by 3.6% to C$14.69 by 11:35 a.m. in Toronto, their lowest level since April 2020. Since the company reported third-quarter results in February, spending at restaurants and retailers has dropped, hurting Lightspeed's overall revenue, Dasilva said. 'Several macroeconomic conditions have deteriorated in that time, through February and March to date,' he said. 'We've seen heightened inflationary pressures, more job insecurity, and there's just been weakened consumer confidence that's been impacting discretionary spending amongst consumers.'

Mother and three children arrested in Hudson after allegedly brandishing firearm on social media livestream
Her children were not identified due to their ages. The 17-year-old boy is facing multiple illegal gun charges, the statement said. The 14-year-old girls are charged with assault and battery on a police officer and assault with a dangerous weapon. One is facing the additional charge of interfering with a police officer, Hudson police said in a statement Tuesday. Advertisement All three minors were also arraigned on Monday in Marlborough District Court, police said. The four were arrested last Friday, the day after police 'were made aware' of a person brandishing a firearm on a social media livestream, the statement said. With help from Southbridge police, investigators identified the 17-year-old and determined that he did not have firearms identification card, police said. A search warrant was executed at one of the family's home on Green Street around 1:30 p.m. on Friday, where two other minors inside became verbally aggressive with police and tried to have a dog at the residence attack the officers, according to the statement and court records. A 14-year-old made physical contact with an officer while police were attempting to de-escalate the situation, the statement said. Dasilva was asked by police to wait outside as one of the minor's was being detained, the statement said. Police then watched Dasilva take one of the minor's phones while outside. Police seized a fully loaded 9mm Taurus GX4 handgun and several rounds of ammunition inside of the home, the statement said. 'I would like to commend the efforts of the members of Hudson and Southbridge police who assisted in this investigation,' Hudson Police Chief Richard P. DiPersio said. 'Their commitment to sound, proactive police work plays an instrumental role in keeping the community safe.' Advertisement Kiera McDonald can be reached at
