USA v Mexico: Four Players Sent Off And Game Paused For Homophobic Chanting

Four players were sent off and the game was paused because of homophobic chants as the United States beat Mexico 3-0 in the Concacaf Nations League semi-final.
Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic scored twice and Riccardo Pepi added a third for the US in the highly charged match.
Mexico’s Cesar Montes – for kicking Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun – and Gerardo Arteaga were dismissed along with US duo Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest.
The match was paused near the end because of homophobic chanting.
Pulisic put his side 2-0 up in Las Vegas before Montes was dismissed in the 69th minute for a wild tackle on forward Balogun, who was making his US debut after switching allegiance from England.
McKennie, who was on loan at Leeds United from Juventus last season, was sent off for his part in the scuffle.
Pepi added a third for the US in the 78th minute and both sides had another player red carded when Arteaga and Dest were sent off following another mass brawl.
Drinks were also thrown from the stands while fans were warned in stadium announcements that the game could be suspended because of the homophobic chanting.
The referee blew for full-time with about half of the 12 minutes of scheduled added time still to play.
“It’s a great scoreline for us, it’s a big win and we’re into the finals,” Pulisic said. “But the game didn’t need to turn into all the madness that it did.
“They really need to control the game much more. It’s sad. And now we’re missing two good players just because everyone’s losing their heads.
“I’m a little bit upset but at the end of the day we’re in the final.”
Concacaf – the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football – said it “strongly condemns the discriminatory chanting” during the game.
The Mexican Football Federation have been fined a number of times in the past by Fifa for homophobic chanting by their fans.
Fifa also charged Mexico for the behaviour of their fans during their opening game of the 2022 World Cup against Poland.
“Chants heard during the game led to the activation of the anti-discrimination protocol by the match officials,” said Concacaf.
“Additionally, security staff ejected several fans for engaging in unacceptable behaviour in the stadium.
“These incidents were extremely disappointing and tarnished what should have been a positive occasion to showcase high-quality football in our region.”
BJ Callaghan was in charge of the US team for the game but there are reports Gregg Berhalter could return to the post.
An independent investigation – launched after he admitted in a statement co-signed by his wife Rosalind that he kicked her during an argument in 1992 – decided there is “no legal impediment to employing” the coach again.
The US will play Canada in the Concacaf Nations League final on Monday after they beat Panama 2-0 thanks to goals from Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies.

A First-of-Its-Kind Rear Screen Experience: Interactive Innovation for a New Generation
itel A300+ coming with an interactive rear display is a rare feature in this price category, designed to deliver a smart entertainment experience for young generations. Far from being a cosmetic gimmick, the rear screen provides practical functions built around real everyday scenarios.

The rear display also supports customizable clocks, photos, and designs, giving users a personal window to express their individual style. Complementing the rear screen, the A300+ features a 6.78-inch immersive punch-hole main display, offering a cleaner, more expansive viewing experience for streaming, gaming, browsing, and social media.

Performance and Value in Balance: Delivering Fresh Technology Despite Industry Pressure
Even amid rising industry costs, itel has chosen to bring fresh technology to its products while continuously improving performance and keeping pricing accessible. The A300+ is powered by a 7000mAh marathon battery engineered for long-term reliability, supporting up to 1,200 charging cycles — far exceeding the industry standard, and designed to retain healthy capacity. AI Charging Protection intelligently manages charging patterns to reduce battery degradation, while Smart Power Management optimizes power consumption across apps and hardware to extend usage time between charges.

The device also features 300% ultra-volume DTS stereo speakers, delivering rich, room-filling sound for music, videos, FM radio, and everyday entertainment. Built to withstand daily life and beyond, the A300+ carries IP65 water and dust resistance certification and meets military-grade durability standards, resisting splashes, dust, and accidental drops. Notably, the A300+ includes satellite communication capability, ensuring users can still send basic messages via satellite when cellular networks are unavailable — a safety net in remote areas, during natural disasters, or in other critical situations, setting it apart in its price segment.

The A300+ is built on a clear product philosophy, rather than relying on a single headline feature, it combines its key strengths into one complete product story. The rear screen captures attention first, while battery life, durability, and practical usability make the overall value proposition convincing. With the A300+, itel once again demonstrates its commitment to using innovation to meet the needs and desire for novelty among young users in emerging markets.
The itel A300+ is available in two variants: the 64GB ROM and 128GB ROM and they are both available in all phone retail stores in Nigeria or via online store HERE

DJ Robot ft TMP Offisial & Fateoftheyouth – “NDSM Deluxe” Mixtape

DJ ROBOT teams up with TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH for NDSM DELUXE, a new DJ mixtape that expands the world of NDSM — No Dey Stress Me into a bigger, more energetic listening experience.
Built around DJ ROBOT’s approach to sequencing, mixing, and controlling energy, NDSM DELUXE transforms the NDSM mindset into a full sonic journey. The mixtape explores nightlife, pressure, temptation, confidence, freedom, desire, and the decision to simply refuse to let life overwhelm you.
Bringing together DJ ROBOT’s DJ-driven vision with the creative energy of TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH, the deluxe edition adds new dimensions to the original NDSM message while maintaining its central philosophy: No Dey Stress Me.
Rather than simply extending the original project, NDSM DELUXE is designed as an experience — moving through different moods, rhythms, and moments while allowing each transition to contribute to the story.
For DJ ROBOT, the project represents an opportunity to communicate through energy as much as words.
“The original NDSM had more energy and stories to explore. I wanted to take the ‘No Dey Stress Me’ mindset beyond the song and turn it into a full DJ experience — something that captures nightlife, freedom, pressure, temptation, and the moments when you simply choose to enjoy yourself and live in the present.”
