WEEKEND UPDATE: 7/9/2016 PLUS Europa Quals - GOALS GALORE (7) This Saturday

Catching up a bit with the Europa League Qualifiers, only 3 of our teams  made it through to the next round. A little bit of action on Friday and Today, which has seen 7 goals. Will Daniels back from injury and now back in form hits 2, as did Justin Kinjo in a friendly in Germany..Marc Heider in his first game for his new club hit one to. I added in Daniel Kuczynski's brace in Iceland although there is some question on whether the Cal State grad is US or Can? (Iceland FA says US, Club says Canada) With so much going on I have reverted back to splitting the weekend into two.

Here's the list

EUROPA LEAGUE QUALIFIERS

Stabaek and Cole Grossman booted from Europa League Qualification 1 - 0 by Welsh team Connah's Q

Gorica and Theo Wilson lost 1 - 0 (4 -0 agg) to M. Tel Aviv and are out. Only the 2nd game played for Theo since he joined Gorica (both in Europa League) Don't fret Theo there will be good times to come

Brian Span went 90 for Mariehamn as they tied 1 - 1, but were eliminated 2 - 1 by Norway's Odd

Will John went 90 in RoPS 1 - 1 draw, but the good news is that their 2 - 0 first leg win gives them a 3 - 1 agg and they move on to the next round (RoPS play the 1st leg at home v Lokomotive Zagreb of Croatia)

Eder Arreola was not involved, but Shirak beat Dila Gori of Georgia 2 - 0 after penalties for a 2 - 1 agg win, as they get ready for the next round (Shirak start the next round at home to Trnava of Slovakia)

USMNT Perry Kitchen went 90 picked up a yellow (the only MF not subbed out) for Hearts as they beat Infonet of Estonia 2 - 4 (agg 3 - 6 ) and take this dominating performance into the next round (Hearts will travel to Malta and Birkirkara for the opener of the next round)

Martin Ontiveros started went 86 in only his 2nd game (both Europa League) for Luxembourg's Jeunesse Esch as they won there home leg 2 - 1 but are eliminated on away goals by St.Patricks of Ireland

FRIDAY

In Norway Start and Alex De John (90) really haven't started yet - they have yet to win a game this season P15/W0/D6/L9 - today the misery continued as they dropped their home game against Bodo/Glimt 1 - 4 as they say in London "woe, woe and thrice woe.

In Iceland's Inkasso-deildin, Leiknir F. put up a fight against Keflavik but succumbed to a 90+ goal to lose 2 - 3. Alexander Ainscough was in the 18/DNP and is still looking more his first minutes with his new club

Things went a little better for JC Mack (90) and Selfoss as they managed a 2nd half goal to tie things up with Fram and get out of town with a valuable point

SATURDAY

Gabriel Wirtz (90) and Jazz Pori had a difficult time with Oulu in Finland's Ykkonen as they settled for a 2 - 2 home draw. Jazz remain bottom of the league with just 6 points from 12 games.

In Iceland Inkasso-deildin, Johnatan Lama started and went 60 as Huginn fell 0 - 1 to Leiknir on an 84th minute goal. Huginn are now firmly entrenched at the bottom of the league with only 4 points from 9 games

In Iceland Division 2, Aegir are battling themselves out of trouble, they won today over Volsungur 3 - 0 with 2 goals Scored from American Daniel Kuczynski (Cal State) went 90 along with Jannik Eckenrode, Danial's tally is now 3 goals in 3 games. Aegir have now won their last 2, but still is the cellar of the league

Also in Division 2, Matthew Nigro (90) and GK Cyrus Mohseni (in 18/DNP) battled Grotta in a game that ultimately ended scoreless. Vestri are 5 points off the lead but must get some consistency going

In Sweden Division 1 (South) Jochen Graf came off the bench at minute 73 as Oskarshamns visited Hollvikens and came away with all 3 points in a 0 - 1 win

Back to Iceland Division 2 where Njadrvik visited bottom team Fjallabyggd. Harrison Hanley started for Njardvik, who lost on an own goal, matters were not helped by a 67th min red card. Njardvik were down 1 - 0 in the first half and had the advantage of an extra man for half an hour but couldn't capitalize

Jordan Tyler (90) and Hottur hosted league leaders Afturelding and scored all 3 goals in the game (Own Goal) as they won 2 - 1 and knocked the leaders off their perch

In Inkasso-deildin Grindavik thumped Thor Akureyri 5 - 0 - Will Daniels came off the bench for the 2nd half and Scored twice as Grindavik had a 4 goal 2nd half.

In Norway's Tippeligaen, Brann hosted Vålerenga with GK Alex Horwath on the bench. Brann certainly had fun as they win this one 4 - 1 and move up to 4th place in the league


Molde visited Sogndal in Norway for an exciting game that saw Molde come back from 4 goals down, but ultimately run out of time and lose 4 - 3. GK Ethan Horvath spent the game on the bench - you have to wonder if he was playing would Molde have let in 4 goals?

FRIENDLY

Justin Kinjo Scored twice as Dusseldorf drew 3 - 3 at France's L'Orient

Marc Heider who joined Osnabruck on July 1 opened his account for his new club when he Scored the opening goal in a 3 - 0 win over Dortmund II
