MID_WEEK WRAP: Small Mid-Week Wrap 7/26-27 - Features Iceland and Friendlies

So enough has been going on to warrant a small update during the week. (This will be normal when the seasons all start again) Iceland was very busy yesterday 7/26. With US players participating and scoring goals. Friendlies are all over the place, and of course Christian Pulisic made the headlines with a very late goal, and a PK, in Dortmund's 1 - 2 loss to Man City

OK to the list;

WEDNESDAY

In Iceland Division 2, Hottur and Jordan Tyler (90) hosted Vestri and Matt Nigro (78) in an exciting game, well for Hottur fans anyway, as they went down form 2 early goals before Jordan led them back when he Scored in the 38th minute, after that Hottur continued to take the game to Vestri, ultimately winning 3 - 2.

In  Inkasso-deildin, GK Will Dieterich (90) got the Shut Out as Haukar visited Akureyri and came away with the 0 - 1 win

Also in Inkasso-deildin, Grindavik and Will Daniels (90) hosted Huginn and Johnatan Lama (26) as they battled to a 2 - 2 draw (Grindavik were unlucky that they missed a 2nd half PK)

Back in Iceland Division 2, Aegir and Jannik Eckenrode (90) welcomed Afturelding and found themselves losing 0 - 1 

Harrison Hanley (89) and Njardvik didn't fair any better as they visited IR Reykjavik and came away with a 1 - 0 loss

In the Iceland Cup Semi-Finals, Selfoss and JC Mack were ousted from the competition after losing 1 - 2 to Valur. JC went 90 and Scored Selfoss' only goal.

In Friendlies:

Terence Boyd started for RB Leipzig Scoring there 1st (and winning) goal as they played Royal-Dominique Fennell and Wurzburger Kickers to a 2 - 0 victory

Lyndon Gooch was an unused sub as Sunderland beat Dijon 2 - 3 

THURSDAY

Jakeem Johnson (90) and PEPO 1 continued their winning ways in Finland's Kakkonen (Group A) with a 3 - 0 win over Sudet. That's 3 wind out of 4 games to pull themselves into mid table.

GK Michael Lansing was on the bench for his first game for new club Vejle BK in Denmark Division 1. Vejle drew  0 - 0.

Hertha and John Brooks (90) hosted Danish club Brondby  in Europa League qualifiers winning the game 1 - 0 on a first half goal - is that going to be enough to take to Denmark in the 2nd leg?

In Friendlies

Dortmund and Christian Pulisic (45) had a hard day against Manchester City in a marque friendly (part of Asia International Champions Cup) Christian Scored at 90 +6 to send the game to PK's (where he did Score his) where Dortmund eventually fell 5 - 6
