WEEKEND WRAP: Saturday 6/18 / Sunday 6/19 - Features Goals in Finland and Sweden

With players and teams deep into the international break, I decide to combine the 2 weekend days together. The 4 games involving Americans on Saturday gave us a goal and assist , Sunday, a goal and a shut-out.
That shut-out, Chicago born, GK Daniel Schmidt, with Yamaga in Japan, now has 10 this season in 19 games - pretty amazing.

To the list;
SATURDAY

Will John started and went 90 for RoPS as they hosted Ilves in Finland's Veikkausliiga ending Ilves 4 game win streak, with a 1 - 0 win.

Romain Gall started for Nykopings in Sweden Division 1(Norra). Romain went 90 and is creditted with the Assist on Nykopings goal in a 1 - 1 draw with Brommapojkarna

Jochen Graf started for Oskarshamns in Sweden Division 1 (Sodra). Jochen went 81 minutes and Scored Oskarshamns 2nd goal as they visited Tvaakers and came away with a point in a 2 - 2 draw

Ryan Finley started for Angelholms in Sweden's Superettan. Ryan went 90 as his team fell apart in the 2nd half. Following a goalless first half (and loss of Ryans forward partner) Angelholms let in 3 goals in the 2nd half and lost this home game 0 - 3 to Atvidabergs.
 
SUNDAY

GK Daniel Schmidt gets another shut-out as Yamaga face off with Yamagata in Japan's J-League 2. It took Yamaga 90 minutes to find the back of the net, but that's all it needed, as they go on to win 1 - 0

Eddy Prugh started for Bodens BK as they fell at home 1 - 2 to IFK Timra, the loss has put them further behind #2 Hudiksvalls in the race for promotion (gap is now 5 points) at the seasons halfway point

Patrick Hopkins (90) and Paul Torres (9) help their team Sirius to a 3 - 1 win over Ljungskile in Sweden Superettan

In Finland, GK Craig Hill (90) and KuPS welcomed Inter Turku in their Veikkausliiga game and played to a 2 - 1 win

Also in Veikkausliiga, Brian Span (90) and Mariehamn hosted Christian Eissele and Kemi. Mariehamn scored right at half-time and just before the final whistle to secure a 2 - 0 win

Dropping down to Ykkonen, Etchu Tabe made his return to Haka, starting on the bench, came on at the 64th minute in Haka's 1 - 2 loss to TPS Turku

Josue Soto started for Jaro, went 81 minutes, picked up a yellow and Scored and Kyle Curinga played the 2nd half and also picked up a yellow, as Jaro faced off with Gabriel Wirtz (90) and Jazz Pori in a battle of the bottom 2 clubs. Jazz came out on top 3 - 4.

League leaders KPV were minus Mike Banner but that didn't stop the coming back from a 2 goal deficit to beat Ekenas and GK Tim Murray (90) 3 - 2

Daniel Stevens came off the bench in the 39th minute for GrIFK, but by then they were 3 goals down as they visited Oulu, but GrIFK limited the damage, and even created a goal to end the game with a 3 - 1 loss

In Kakkonen, Group A, PEPO 1 finished the day 0 - 1 losers at home to JaPS. Both Americans on the PEPO 1 squad featured, Jakeem Johnson started and went 59 minutes and Nathan Stokie went the full 90

In Group C play, GBK and Lawrence Smith (90) visited PPT and found the going easy as they win 1 - 3 and move into 2nd place in the league.

Jossimer Sanchez started and went 90, picking up a yellow, as Narpes Kraft traded goals with GK Tyler Back (90) and Santa Claus (yup that's correct) in a game that ended in a 2 - 2 draw

In our final game from Finland today, GK Scott Angevine and YPA scored all of the games goals as they met with Hercules, 3 were to their advantage (1 own goal) the 3 - 1 win continues YPA's revival after a torrid start to the season, and they are out of the bottom 3 for the first time.
