WEEKEND WRAP: Sunday 5/8/2016 - Features 3 Goals, a Red Card and More End of Season Drama

In soccer not everyday is going to be a great day - today may be one of those day's. There is good stuff, but not so good as well (and a lot of 'short appearances). First we had 3 goals, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Germany and 1 in Iceland. We had a shut-out in Germany from 1 goalkeeper, and a very costly red card from another in Norway.
2 teams in Germany were promoted to Bundesliga next season, in Denmark one team is on the cusp of promotion, one team will play in a play-off final in England, 3 teams, in 2 country's (Belgium and Netherlands's, will play in play-playoffs for a Europa League place.

Lets go to the list;

Gboly Ariyibi started and went 90 as Chesterfield visited Bradford and came away empty handed, 0 - 2, in their last game of the season in England's League One

GK Brendan Moore is back at Fleetwood, after his successful loan period with Torquay United, and back on the bench (DNP) for Fleetwood final game, which they won 2 - 0 over Crewe.

Zak Whitbread (90) and Shrewsbury ended their League One campaign with a 0 - 3 loss at Swindon. Shrewsbury ended the season just above the drop zone - close

Josue Soto, was in 18 (DNP) as Jaro hosted Etchu Tabe (90) and Haka in Finland's Ykkonen in a goalless draw

Daniel Stevens, went 90, picked up a yellow as GrIFK fell 0 1 to JJK in Ykkonen

Isaac Kannah and KTP welcomed Ekenas IF and GK Tim Murray to today's Ykkonen game, but were happy to see them leave after a 1 - 2 loss

Desevio Payne was in Groningen's 18 (DNP) as they won their Eredivisie game against Heracles 2 - 1. Groningen will join Utrecht in the (Eredivisie) Europa League Play-offs battling for the 3rd available spot - Feyenoord, Alkmaar are the other 2.

At Utrecht, Rubio Rubin was in 18 (DNP) as they fell at home 1 - 3 to Alkmaar. Alkmaar qualified for the Eredivisie Europa League Play-offs.

Omar Castro (in 18 / DNP) was hoping to make his debut for Braunschweig in Germany 2Liga as they visited Bochum and won 2 - 3 - maybe he will get off the bench next game - hope so

In Finland's Kakkonen, GK Nathan Stokie (90) and forward Jakeem Johnson (90) were on the losing side as PEPO 1 were beaten 0 - 3 at home by FC Futura in Kakkonen Group A

In Kakkonen Group C Lawrence Smith came off the bench at 72 minutes as GBK thumped MuSa 5 - 0. GBK were without captain Chris Corcoran who is serving a red card suspension

Also in Kakkonen Group C, Jossimer Sanchez started and went 90 as Narpes lost their home opening game 0 - 1 to VIFK

GK Scott Angevine (90) and VPS got thumped at home 0 - 3 by TP-47 in Group C as well - not a good day in Finland's Kakkonen for American's

Douglas Bentley started and went 88 minutes as AlbinoLeffe visited Mantova in Italy Lega Pro Group A, and came away with a point in a 1 - 1 draw

In Sweden's Allsvenskan, Matt Pyzdrowski was on the bench (DNP) as #3 Helsingborg beat #2 Malmo 2 - 1

USYNT Romain Gall Scored the winning goal for Nykopings in Sweden Division One, as they visited IFK Lulea. 2nd goal in 4 games, Nykoping now in 3-way tie for 2nd place (4th on GD)

In Germany's lower leagues, GK Adam Hobbs starts, plays 90 and gets a shut-out as Rathenow beat Nordhausen 2 - 0 in Regionalliga Nordost

In England, Jon-Paul Pittman (63) and Grimsby, won 0 - 2 at Braintree to reach the Vanarama National League Final at Wembley Stadium next Sunday. A win for Grimsby next weekend will mean League 2 football next season

Nermin Crnkic came off the bench for the 2nd half, but it didn't help today as Slovan Bratislava imploded and lost 0 - 4 at home to Trencin in Slovakia's Fortuna Liga

Eric Palmer-Brown started for Porto B in Portugal Segunda Division as they beat Benfica B 3 - 1 - Porto B won Segunda Division, but will continue to play in the league as promotion is not allowed (as Senior Squad plays in Primeira)

Alassane Kane started, went 90 as DJK Bamberg were beaten 1 - 4 by Bayern Hoff in Oberliga Bayern. The lone Bamberg goal was Scored by Alassane

In Norway, Cole Grossman (90) and Stabaek visited high-flying Rosenborg and got dumped 3 - 1...Stabaek (still win-less) not the same team without Bradley Senior.

Dylan Romney came off the bench at minute 76 as Savona visited Prato in Italy Lega Pro Group B Savona took the lead, but couldn't hold on to it as they lost 3 - 1

Kenny Saief started and went 90 as Gent suffered a horrible home loss to Club Brugge, 1 - 4. Belgium has a play-off system for UCL and Europa, so despite the loss they are still in position for the Europa League spot in the 10 match play-off, after 7 games played.

GK Jeff Gal, started and went 90, as Lindkopings fell 2 - 1 to Stenungsunds in Sweden Division 2

Conor O'Brien started and went 90 as Horsens hosted Skive in Denmark's Bet25 Liga (2nd tier) Horsens won the game 3 - 2. Horsens look good for promotion with 4 games left. Be good to see Conor back playing at highest level

Oh Dear! Looks like GK Ethan Horvath has cost his team a win. Ethan started and went 82 minutes before being ejected for a straight RED card. At that time Molde were winning 1 - 3 against Haugesund. The red card resulted in an 85th minute penalty and that was followed by an 89th minute goal - and the game ended at 3 - 3, and Molde dropped out of 2nd place to 3rd - expensive day for Ethan.

In Iceland, Dion Acoff Scored Throttur's first goal as they played KR Reykjavik in Iceland's Pepsideild (1st tier) the game ultimately ended in a 2 - 2 draw, with Dion going 90
