WEEKEND WRAP: 7/10/2016 Sunday - Features Goals and a Shut-out in Finland

So not a particularly busy day today, but we did get some action from our guys. 2 goals, an assist and a shut-out. The goals in Finland, as was the shut-out, the assist came in Norway. We have identified a couple of players in Australia's lower leagues that we will be following, today we give mention to Kene Eze who has been on fire scoring goals at will it seems. Anyway,

To the List;  

GK Daniel Schmidt and Yamaga move in to 2nd place in Japan J2 after 4 - 2 home victory over Kanazawa - Daniel has now played 22 games with a record of W13 D5 L4 he has 10 Shut-outs and has let in 18 goals - pretty good for his 1st season with Yamaga.

Daniel Stevens comes off the bench at 65th minute in GrIFK loss to league leaders JJK in Finland's Ykkonen. Final 0 - 1

Kene Eze started for North Geelong Warriors in Australia's NPL (West Victoria) as they get back to winning ways and move up to 3rd place after beating Melbourne City 2 - 0. No goal today for Kene, who has 11 goals and 3 assists so far this season (11 games)

Andrew Stadler (90) and Ostersunds beat Jonkopings 1 - 0 in Sweden's Allsvenskan breaking a 2 game losing streak.

In Finland's Veikkausliiga, Christian Eissele (90) and Kemi had no answers to league leaders HJK's attack and lost 2 - 0

GK Craig Hill gets the Shut-out for KuPS as they beat HIFK 1 - 0 in their Veikkausliiga game and move into 3rd position in the table

After this weeks Europa League loss, Brian Span got to rest on the bench as Mariehamn beat #4 Ilves 3 - 1 and maintains their position tied points at the top of Veikkausliiga (with HJK)

Will John (88) and RoPS continued their winning ways, after qualifying for the next round of the Europa League with a 2 - 1 win over Inter Turku.

In Finland's Ykkonen, it looked like Etchu Tabe (90) 35th minute goal would provide Haka with the win, but a 90 +4 goal by Jaro ruined his teams hopes of 3 points. Josue Soto (78) featured for Jaro and Kyle Curinga remained on the bench.

Mike Banner (45) only lasted the first half as KPV battled TPS Turku to a 2 - 3 loss. Today's result dropped KPV from 1st to 3rd in the league (below TPS Turku, who have the same points total)

Lawrence Smith Scored again, and Chris Corcoran came off the bench at the 60th minute as GBK gained a valuable point against VIFK to stop their 2 game losing streak with a 2 - 2 away draw.

Things could not be better for GK Scott Angevine and YPA as they continue their recovery from the disastrous start to the season. YPA have now won 5 straight (after gaining only 1 point in their first 6 games) after today's 5 - 1 drubbing of Santa Claus (this RoPS junior side)

Jossimer Sanchez (90) and Narpes Kraft suffered a huge defeat at the hands of Kakkonen (Group C) leaders OPS, after a 10th minute goal took the wind from their sails, final score 3 - 0.

In Sweden's Division 1 (Norra) USYNT Romain Gall (90) and Nykopings drew 1 - 1 with Umea. Nykopings are still undefeated in their last 5 (2W 3D 0L) 

In Sweden Allsvenskan, Helsingborg looked like they would get some needed points, but fell at the line giving up 3 2nd half goals and losing 2 - 4. GK Matt Pyzdrowski was in 18/DNP - Hmm! another case of maybe you should change your keeper?

In Norway's Tippeligaen Stabaek and Cole Grossman (90) have won a game!! Cole was also credited with the Assist as Stabaek visited Lillestrom and won 1 - 2 in a back-and-forth game that ended with the 89th minute assist by Cole. Stabaek are no longer in the bottom 3.
