WEEKEND WRAP: Saturday 6/11/2016 - Features Goals in Sweden and Iceland

So, just a handful of games today, in Finland, Iceland or Sweden, saw 2 goals and a shut out. Iceland Division 2 will take a few weeks off, but Sweden, Finland and Norway continue play, so we are not shut-down totally. We will continue tracking our guy's through this extended international break.

To the list;

Gabriel Wirtz started and played 75 minutes in Jazz Pori's 2 - 3 loss to KPV in Finland's Ykkonen. KPV who has American Mike Banner in their squad (not in 18) are currently in the #1 position in Ykkonen, Jazz are in last place, with only 2 points from their first 8 games

Chase Miller (90) and Eddy Prugh (90) both started for Bodens BK in Sweden's 2nd Division as they visited Friska Viljor FC, and came away with a 0 - 3 win. Bodens are now in sole possession of 2nd place in the league.

In Sweden Superettan, Tristan Bowen started his first game for AFC, and Scored his first goal, AFC United's first (& winning) goal, and GK and Captain Josh Wicks kept a clean sheet in another Shut-out until he was substituted in the 79th minute (no word on injury yet) as AFC welcomed Orgryte to town and won 2 - 0. AFC are tied at the top of the league

Also in Superettan, Patrick Hopkins, (90 & yellow card), and Paul Torres, who went 90 for the first time this season, started as Sirius visited GAIS, and despite being a man down, came away with a point in a 0 - 0 draw. The draw pulled them up to 3rd spot in the league

In Sweden's Division 1, Jochen Graf came off the bench for Oskarhamns in the 85th minute in a humbling 0 - 3 home loss to Prespa Birlik

In Iceland Division 2, Jordan Tyler (in 18/DNP) and Hottur were involved in a hard fought game at home against Jannik Eckenrode (90) and Aegir that ended in a 2 - 2 draw. Aegir gains a desperately needed point, and a 2nd straight draw, after a disastrous start to the season.

Also in Division 2, Harrison Hanley put his side Njardvik ahead when he Scored their 2nd goal, after they went a man down, he left the game 3 minutes later (56th minute) and visitors Magni scored tieing the game at 2 - 2 for the final

Finally, the last game of the day for us, Vestri GK Cyrus Mohseni (90) and Matt Nigro (24) had a hard time handling lowly Volsungur, coming back from a deficit twice to end up with a 2 - 2 draw at home. I'm sure that Vestri will look on this game as 2 points lost.
