WEEKEND WRAP: Friday/Saturday/Sunday - Features 19 Goals, 2 Assists, 6 Shut Outs and Pro/Rel in Iceland

Terrific weekend for our American players. 5 players scored 2 goals, 6 goalkeepers had shut outs a total of 19 goals, with US players in action in 19 countries, yes naysayers Americans are making an impact around the world. 

Iceland's lower leagues have wrapped up their seasons,  Aegir will play next season in Division 3 after finishing 11th of 12 - but will have something to build on next season as they get comfort from the fact that they were relegated on goal difference. In Inkasso-deildin Huginn find themselves in the same situation, they are relegated, on goal difference, to Division 1. On the bright side, Grindavik have gained promotion to the top tier Pepsideild, congrats to them and to the US's Will Daniels, good luck next season. With 1 game left in Pepsideild, Throttur and Daniel Acoff will be relegated  to Inkasso-deildin next season.

Finland lower leagues will end next week (so look out for that) there are tremendous battles going on both at the top and bottom of all the leagues in Finland and little will be settled until the final day.

GK Scott Angevine (90) and YPA played to a 1 - 1 draw with PPT. YPA who started the season in such a funk have put on a 2nd half of the season worth a shout out. With just 1 game left this season YPA will end in mid-table.

In Netherlands Eredivisie Matt Miazga (26) came off the bench in Vitesse' 2 - 1 loss at Twente. Vitesse are tied in 7th spot (last Europa League place) with 4 other teams. Good to see Matt finally getting some playing time


Rubio Rubin was an unused sub (again) in Utrecht's 2 - 0 win over Rotterdam in Eredivisie


In Finland Ykkonen, GK Tim Murray gets the Shut Out as Ekenas wins at home, 2 - 0 against GrIFK. Ekenas with 3 wins in their last 5 games should be safe as only a few games remain and they are 5 points from the drop zone


Mike Banner (90) and KPV hosted Jaro with Kyle Curinga (90) as Jaro surprised KPV winning 0 - 3 and moving to within 4 points for promotion in Ykkonen. There are only 5 points separating 1st from 4th

In Finland's Ykkonen, Isaac Kannah (65) came from 1 - 3 down to draw TPS Turku 3 - 3 with 2 goals in the final 10 minutes. KTP definitely playing the spoiler here as #2 TPS needed all 3 points to help catch #1 JJK. KTP themselves needed points (a win would have be excellent) to drag themselves out of the relegation zone, with just a few games left they are 1 point from escaping the drop zone


Etchu Tabe was an unused sub in Haka's 1 - 1 draw with Oulu (who are chasing TPS) in Ykkonen. Haka are likely to end the season mid-table


In Finland's Veikkausliiga, Christian Eissele was an unused sub as Kemi fell 2 - 0 at Ilves (who take over the #3 spot)


In the big game of the day (for US player followers) in Finland, RoPS (Will John did not dress today) faced Mariehamn and Brian Span (90 + yellow card) in a battle that would help Mariehamn's charge to the top (and a Champions League spot). RoPS has dropped out of contention over tha past few weeks (only 1 win in their last 5) and with just a few games left would need the 2 teams above to just collapse. Mariehamn now sits in 2nd (Europa League) 2 points out of first place and 1 point ahead of the charging Ilves with 4 games left.


Helsingborg have only won 1 game in the last 5 (1 win 4 losses)and have slipped into the relegation zone (2 points from safety) Today they faced off with #1 Malmo with a predictable result 2 - 0. GK Matt Pyzdrowski (90) kept the score reasonable. Helsingborg must now plan ahead for a beatable team Hammarby next week


For the first half Horsens looked like they would make a game of it as they visited Midtjylland in Denmark's Superliga. Connor O'Brien (71) started and it was 2 - 2 at the half....then the 2nd half happened and Horsens allowed 3 unanswered goals, ending 5 - 2 losers...there is always the next game!!


In a crazy final 10 minutes that saw 3 goals, Martin Ontiveros (90) Scored his first goal for his new club Jeunesse Esch in Luxembourg's National Division (top tier) Martin has started 4 times this young season and his first goal resulted in a 2 - 2 draw today at #2 Fola - good result


Ring the Bells!!!!! Start has won its first game this season - after 24 attempts. Alex De John (90) and Start have beaten #4 Haugesund in Norway's Tippeligaen (they would have shared 2nd with 2 other teams if they had won) 1 - 0, so they won't be going the season without a win. Of course they are still going down, but at least for one day they can smile.


In Bosnia Premier Liga, Nermin Crnkic Scored Sarajevo's 2nd goal which (at the time) put them in the lead. A 55 minute goal by home team Siroki Brijeg tied things up at 2 - 2

In Serbia Super Liga, Ismar Tandir was an unused sub as Javor visited Borac and got a point in a 1 - 1 draw
