MID-WEEK WRAP: 7/5/2016 Features Goals in Iceland, Europa League Action

Small post today but as we had a couple of goals I think its worth a few words. Martin Ontiveros making just his 2nd start (both in Europa League) for his new team features, along with 2 goals from Iceland, both in Division 2.

To the list;

Just one game of interest yesterday as Dion Acoff  (72) and Throttur were ousted from the Icelandic cup, with a 0 - 3 home loss by Pepsideild League leaders Hafnarfjordur, a bit of a mismatch for the team next to bottom in the league.

Martin Ontiveros (88) started his 2nd game for Jeunesse Esch, both have been in the Europa League Qualifying round. Unfortunately both ended badly for Martin. The first leg against St.Patrick's in Ireland ended in a 1 - 0 loss and today, although Jeunesse Esch won 2 - 1 they were ousted by the away goals rule.

In Iceland's Cup Quarter Finals, Selfoss and JC Mack (90) visited fellow Inkasso-deildin team Fram and came away with a 0 - 2 win, and must now plan for the semi-finals.

In Iceland Division 2, Aegir took a 1 - 0 lead early in the 2nd half courtesy of Jannik Eckenrode, who Scored his 2nd of the season as Aegir won over fellow cellar dwellers Fjallabyggd. Valuable points for a team in a little trouble this season.

Also in Division 2, Matt Nigro started and  GK Cyrus Mohseni, was on the bench as Vestri visited league leaders, Afturelding and came away with a 1 - 2 win as they continue their climb towards the top

Harrison Hanley (90) and Njardvik were not so lucky, Harrison Scored as Njardvik fought back from a first half deficit, but came up short losing 2 - 1 to Grotta. That's Harrison's 3rd goal for his new team since joining 6 weeks ago.

In the final game today in Iceland, Jordan Taylor (90) and Hottur visited Sindri and left with 1 point, all tied up in a goalless draw.
