WEEKEND WRAP: Sunday 6/12/2016 - Features Goals in Finland & Iceland

If your name is Will, chances are you scored today. Not that many more games than yesterday, and like yesterday we have goals, one in Finland, two in Iceland. With exception of one game in Japan, all our games are in  Iceland and Finland.

To the list!

In Japan, GK Daniel Schmidt (90) and Yamaga suffered only their 2nd loss of the season as they visited Okayama in J-League. Just 2 points separates #1 form # 6 in the table, a win today would have put Yamaga top (its that tight)

In Finland's Veikkausliiga, Will John (85) and RoPS visited #1 HJK. Will started on the bench, but quickly found himself in the game due to a 5th minute injury. With his team down a goal and and time running out Will Scored and RoPS left HJK with a 1 - 1 draw. RoPS have been struggling this season so every point has extra importance.

Christian Eissele was in 18/DNP as Kemi best Lahti 2 - 1. Kemi are well placed in the league but their season has been inconsistent and Christian's goal tally for the season has been missing - maybe not playing will spur him on

Brian Span (90) started for Mariehamn as the hosted SJK, Mariehamn won the game 1 - 0 and are now tied for 1st place in Veikkausliiga. Both teams HJK and Mariehamn are on 28 points - with HJK having the edge on GD - and they are 7 point clear at the top.

GK Craig Hill, was on the bench for KuPS as they visited PK-35 in a game that ended 1 - 1.

In Finland Ykkonen, GK Tim Murry (90 + yellow) and Ekenas found themselves on the wrong end of a disappointing 0 - 2 home loss to TPS Turku. Ekenas are now in a 3-way tie for 2nd spot (& promotion)

Not much separates Jaro and GrIFK (2 points) and today as they faced each other that was destined to stay that way. Kyle Curinga (21) and Josue Soto (in 18/DNP) saw a 2 goal lead vanish as Daniel Stevens (30) and GrIFK hit a late ET goal that tied things up.

In Iceland Inkasso-deildin GK Will Dieterich (in 18/DNP) had to watch from the bench as his team was dismantled by last place Leiknir Fáskrúdsfj 4 - 0 - now that's not good!

Will Daniels (11) has been off, due to injury, for some time. He had been on the bench for the last 2 games for Grindavik. Today he came off the bench and had an immediate impact Scoring for his team as they fought back at Kopavogur. Alas Will's goal was not enough as Grindavik fall 2 - 1 cellar dwelling Kopavogur. Good to see Will back, and scoring

It looked like Huginn and Johnatan Lama (45) where finally going to break the funk of 4 straight losses today as they visited Thor Akureyri - but an ET goal (90+3) ended that hope and Huginn find themselves in the cellar of Inkasso-deildin

In Finland Kakkonen Group C, Lawrence Smith (90) and GBK welcomed Narpes and Jossimer Sanchez (90) with a 3 goal drubbing that pushes them to 2nd place and an opportunity for promotion.

GK Scott Angevine, after last weekends shut-out, held his own as YPA visited Virkia (aka Lapua) and came away with their first win of the season 1 - 4. YPA are still at the bottom of the table (10 of 12) but after a disastrous start a draw and a win in the last 2 games will give the team hope for the coming games.


JC Mack (90) started for Selfoss in Iceland's Inkasso-deildin as they took on Fjardabyggd, in a game that saw Selfoss score all 3 goals in a 2 - 1 win. JC Mack Scored the winning goal (his 2nd of the season)
