WEEKEND WRAP: Saturday 7-23-2016 - Features a Mix of Meaningful Games and Friendlies

Interesting day filled with games that had consequence and a lot more that didn't. We had debut's by 2 players in Bosnia, 1 in Serbia  and a few more in Germany's lower leagues. Goals ? yup we had some of those as well. In Iceland, Germany, Bosnia and 1 goal in a friendly match. We had over 30 US Players on display with some good and some bad results. The seasons are starting up again across Europe and each week we are adding games in countries we have not heard from in quite a bit. 

Lets go to the list;

Benedict Lavery was in the 18/DNP for Augsburg II as they won their match up at FV Illertissen in Oberliga (Bayern).

Alassane Kane started went 45 for his new team Bayern Hof in their 4 - 3 loss to FC Schweinfurt in Germany's Regionalliga (Bayern)

In Finland Ykkonen, Jaro featured Kyle Curinga (90 + Yellow) and Josue Soto (87) as they hosted Mike Banner (90) and KPV as they played to a goalless draw - KPV ended their points drought after 4 straight losses.

In Iceland Inkasso-deildin play Selfoss and JC Mack (90) visited Leiknir F. and came away with a point in 1 - 1 draw.

In Iceland Division 2 Jordan Taylor (90) Scored for Hottur as they visited Njardvik and Harrison Hanley (72) and took a commanding lead (0 - 2) into the half and then struggled to hold on a 2 - 2 draw

Also in Iceland Division 2, Matt Nigro (89) and Vestri suffered a scare after being 0 - 2 up and it took a 90+3 PK to finally put their game with KF away 2 - 3


In Germany Oberliga (Bayern Nord), Eric Friedlander came off the bench at 70th minute as SpVgg Ansbach drew 3 - 3 with SV Alemannia Haibach

Also in Oberliga (Bayern Nord), Julian Ceesay (90) and FC Amberg visited Wurzburger FV and came away with a point in a goalless draw


In Scotland's Betfred Cup, Kevin Dzierzawski (53) and Peterhead lost at East Fife 2 - 1 and are out of the competition


Things didn't go any better for GK Danny Rogers as his Scottish Championship side Falkirk were thumped 3 - 0 by SPL's St. Johnstone


In Sweden's Allsvenskan, Orebro and Brendan Hines-Ike (in 18/DNP) visited Falkenbergs and came away with all 3 points in a 1 - 3 win, which moves them into the number 3 spot in the league


In Oberliga (Bayern Nord), Oscar Ortiz (90) and SC Feucht lost 2 - 1 at SV Erlenbach, leaving them with just 1 point from the first 3 games of the season - there's lots of time left to improve


Dropping down to the B Team this weekend, Royal-Dominique Fennell (90) showed his class as he Scored Wurzburger Kickers only goal in 1 - 2 defeat at the hands of TSV Großbardorf in Oberliga (Bayern Nord).


In Bosnia, Celik Zenica had a tough time with Metalleghe-BSI in their Premier League opener. The good news is that Danijal Brkovic (90) Scored, his new team, Celik's only goal in the 1 - 3 defeat

Molde and GK Ethan Horvath continue their bad form with a 0 - 1 home loss to Sarpsborg in Norway's Tippeligaen. Molde only have 1 point from the last 5 games and are slipping out of contention rapidly

Ismar Tandir started in the 18, and came on (debut) in the 85th minute for his new team Javor in the Serbian Super Liga opening day. Javor gave up an OG early in the first half and then another goal put them in a hole. The 2nd half was better and they hit 2 to tie the game at 2 - 2 - not the best start, but not the worst either.

Hunter Gorskie (90 ) and Legnica advanced to the next round of the Poland Cup with a 1 - 2 win over Belchatow (who currently are league leaders) following extra time and PK's

In Bosnia Premier League, Nermin Crnkic debuted or his new team FC Sarajevo in the opening game of the season , he went 55 minutes in a game interrupted by crowd disturbances and that finally ended in a 1 - 1 draw at Zeljeznicar

In Ireland Don Cowan went 87 minutes for Longford and GK Ciaran Nugent took his regular spot on the bench for Sligo Rovers in a 2 - 2 draw, that really didn't help either team in the standings.

Friendlies

Lyndon Gooch came off the bench at minute 64 in Sunderland's 1 - 2 win at Rotherham

Duane Holmes came off the bench at minute 78 and caused trouble for Hull with several shots resulting in finger-tip saves. Scunthorpe lost 0 - 2 but put on a good performance

Adam Henley went 76 minutes for Blackburn in their pre-season match with Blackpool that ended all-square at 1 - 1

For those wondering Emerson Hyndman did not dress for Bournemouth today, he is out (probably for the whole of pre-season) with an injury

Danny Williams (90) looked pretty good today for Reading, although they lost 2 - 0 to Wimbledon in their pre-season match


In Germany, Bayern Munich started Julian Green (46) and brought on Timothy Tillman for the 2nd half in a 0 - 3 win over Landshut


Time Ream came on at 60th minute and Luca de la Torre at 72, as Fulham visit Real Betis in a friendly that Fulham lost, after a good performance, 2 - 1 on an 88th minute Betis goal.
