WEEKEND WRAP: Sunday 7/24/2016 - Features 2 x 2 goal games Plus more goals

Well today's game's took on an unexpected vibe. Way fewer games than yesterday involving US Players and way more goals!  First, congratulations to GK Daniel Schmidt who now has 11 shut-outs in Japan. Denmark and Moldova (yes) opened their season's for real this weekend, with many more starting this coming week or so. OK Goals!!! there were goals (7), including 2 brace's in Finland and in Germany (Friendlies), Congrats to Jakeem Johnson and Jerome Kiesewetter and, we identified a US player Florida born Mitchell Lopez who is a dual USA - Brazil, who scored in Finland today.

Lets go to the list;

GK Daniel Schmidt does it again with a Shut-out for his team Yamaga in Japan J2 as they win 1 - 0 over V-Vareen Nagasaki. This is Daniel's 11th shut-out in 24 games this season (Record is 24 games, allowed 20 goals, 11 Shut-outs)

In Denmark SuperLiga, Connor O'Brien goes 90 for Horsens as they draw 1 - 1 with Sondejyske, this makes it 2 draws in 2 games

In Denmark Division 1, Naestved and Sammy Adjei lost their season opener 0 - 1 to Nykobing.

In Sweden Division 2 (Norra Svealand) Sasa Plavsic went 90 for S. Kerbura as they visited Habo and lost 4 - 3 on a 90 +7 minute goal

Alex De John started and went 90 in Norway's Tippeligaen as Start hosted Valerenga in a bottom of the table clash and as has been the case all season Start lost 2 - 4 - even though it is only half-way through the season Start look doomed and Division One football next year looks almost certain.

Mitchell Lopez (USA/Brazil dual) Scored BK-46 2nd goal in their 1 - 3 win over EsPa in Kakkonen (Group B) Mitchel (90 + yellow) is a 23 year old MF from Opa-locka Florida, played a year for Ft Lauderdale before moving to Finland and BK-46

In Sweden Superettan, AFC with GK Josh Wicks (90) and Tristan Bowen (61) suffered a rare home loss to Trelleborgs 1 - 2. Over the past few weeks AFC has some shaky form (2w, 2l, 1d) that has toppled them from early season dominance into 2nd place (Halmstad, in 3rd, are a point below and play later today)

In Moldova, Academia Chisinau and Jairo Aquino won their season opener 4 - 1 against Ungheni in Divizie Nationala...the win puts them top on GD

In Finland Veikkausliiga Kemi and Christian Eissele (81) visited Ilves scored first but ended having to settle for a point in a 1 - 1 draw, giving them their first point in 5 games.

RoPS and Will John (25) did just enough to win 1 - 0 over HIFK and increase their unbeaten streak to 7 (in league play) and move them up to 3rd place.

In Finland's Ykkonen, an exciting game between GrIFK and Daniel Stevens (20) and Ekenas and GK Tim Murray ended in a 3 - 2 win for GrIFK. It looked as though Ekenas would grab a point when they scored in the 90th minute and made it 2 - 2, but GrIFK hit back at 90+3 to take all 3 points

In the other Ykkonen game KTP and Isaac Kannah (90) visited TPS and came away with the points as Isaac Scored the opener for KTP in their 1 - 3 win.

In Kakkonen (Group A) PEPO 1 had no trouble when they visited Futura. Jakeem Johnson Scored a brace in the 1 - 3 win, which takes them out of the relegation zone.

In Sweden Allsvenskan, GK Matt Pyzdrowski is still polishing the woodwork, and had to watch Helsingborg lose at home again 0 - 2 to Hacken. That's 4 loses in the last 5 games as Helsingborg sink lower in the standings.

In Sweden Superettan, an exciting game between leaders Sirius and Patrick Hopkins (90) and Assyriska FF and Paul Torres (90) who just transferred from Sirius. It looked like the game was going to be a laugher after Sirius took a 3 - 0 lead, then Assyriska went on a tear scoring 3 unanswered goals to tie things up shortly after the start of the 2nd half. But Sirius is just to strong this season scoring two 2nd half goals to win the game 5 - 3 and extend their first place points.

Angelholms had the unenviable task of visiting high flying Halmstad in Superettan today. Ryan Finley (90 + yellow card) and Angelholms did 'OK' losing by only 1 - 0.Halmstad now pass AFC into 2nd place splitting the two teams that have US players #1 Sirius (and now) #3 AFC. (only 4 points separate 1 thru 3) at the season mid-point.

FRIENDLIES

In Germany, 2Liga Sandhausen and Andrew Wooten (85) took on Spain's Seville in a pretty close match that Seville won 1 - 2. Sandhausen's goal was Scored by Andrew, briefly giving the hosts the lead.

In another of those laugher's, that they seem to love in Germany, 2Liga side Dusseldorf and Jerome Kiesewetter visited Regionalliga's Wegberg-Beeck, who were today's punching bag, in a 1 - 8 thumping. Jerome Scored 2 goals
