In Ireland's Premier Division, Pat McCann (90) and GK Ciaran Nugent (90) Plus he gets the Shut Out in Sligo Rovers 5 - 0 dismantling of Wexford in the final game of the season. Sligo, who did not start the season to well end up 5th - not to shabby, all things considered
Also in Ireland's Prem. Don Cowan went 90, as Longford fell 2 - 4 to #4 Shamrock Rovers in their last game of the season....One more game to go - a Play-off to survive relegation
SATURDAY
Jerome Kiesewetter (89 + yellow) Justin Kinjo (in 18/DNP) and Dusseldorf traveled to #2 Union Berlin and came away with all the points as they won 0 - 1 in Germany 2Liga. That's 3 wins in a row, and a 3rd spot in the table for Dusseldorf
Romain Gall (90) and Nykopings failed to hold #1 Brommapojkarna at home and fell 0 - 1 in Sweden Division 1 (Norra) Nykopings is going through a rough patch right now, 5 points from their last 5 games
In England's Premier League, Lyndon Gooch came off the bench at minute 84, by which time Sunderland were already down 1 - 4 to Arsenal. I guess a few minutes is better than nothing, but manager David Moyes seems a little lost for ideas right now and his decision to bring in Lyndon at that point seemed desperate
In Denmark Division2 (Group 1) Anton Peterlin (82) and B93 ended their game with Avarta goalless. B93 remain in the 'promotion group' with 20 points, Avarta lead the group.
Also in the promotion group in Denmark are Bronshoj and Jamil Fearrington (90) who beat Fredensborg 3 - 0 to maintain their #3 spot in Denmark's Division 1 (Group 1)
In Germany 3Liga, Shawn Barry (90 + yellow) and FSV Frankfurt made short-work of Paderborn as they won 3 - 0. That's 4 wins in the last 5 games for FSV, as they charge up the table.
In a game filled with American's, Royal Fennell (90) and Hallescher hosted Marc Heider (90 + yellow) Robbie Kristo (90) and Osnabruck with the advantage going to the home team, as Hallescher win's this one 1 - 0. Hallescher are unbeaten in their last 5, and sit tied 3rd, with 2 other teams)
GK Kenneth Kronholm (90) and Kiel visited Munster, and grabbed a point in a 1 - 1 draw in 3Liga

Devante Parker (11) came off the bench as Mainz II traveled to Rostock and stole a point in a 1 - 1 draw
GK David Yelldell was replaced at minute 79 (?Injury) and Sonnenhof hung on for a goalless draw against visitors #1 Duisburg in 3Liga

GK Brad Guzan watched Middlesbrough from the bench as they beat Bournemouth 2 - 0 in the English Premier League (Emerson Hyndman was not in Bournemouth's 18, again, today)

Danny Williams (90 + yellow) and Reading hosted Eric Lichaj (90) and Nottingham and held their home advantage in a 2 - 0 win. Reading move into the top 6 and Nottingham find themselves hovering above the drop-zone.
Gboly Ariyibi (90) and Chesterfield traveled to Charlton in England's League One, and fell 1 - 0. Chesterfield have now lost 5 straight and find themselves 1 point off the bottom (4 points from safety). They need to regain last years form if they are going to survive
GK Paul Rachubka was in his 'stand-by' position on the bench for Bury, as they lost 3 - 2 at Northampton in League One
Duane Holmes (90) Scored Scunthorpe's 2nd goal (technically the winner) as they find little problem with visiting Swindon in a 4 - 1 win in England League One. Scunthorpe are having a great season, and are 3 points ahead at the top of the League.
GK Brendan Moore (90) and Torquay looked on the way to a win in the first half, up a goal at home. The 2nd half was not good though, a red card and 2 goals by Southport saw the home team fall 1 - 2 in England national League
In a thriller in Scotland's Premier League, Perry Kitchen (90 + yellow) Bjorn Johnsen (76) and Hearts traveled to Inverness and battled to a 3 - 3 draw, with Bjorn Johnsen Scoring Hearts opening goal. Hearts had started the season really well, but have recently hit a rough patch, this game will give them some confidence going forward - they retain 3rd spot (shared with 2 other teams) and are only a point behind #2 Rangers
GK Danny Rogers (90) and Falkirk visited Dundee Utd. in Scotland's Championship, and fell 1 - 0 on an 82nd minute strike. Falkirk are just out-side the promotion play-off group
Peterhead are finally finding their form, with their 3rd straight win. Kevin Dzierzawski went 77 minutes in their 2 - 0 win over Stranraer in Scotland League One.
In Sweden's Superettan, its looking really good for the top two teams, both with Americans, as AFC Utd. win today and move 7 points ahead of Halmstad who have crashed, losing their last 2 games. By my reckoning, AFC United are promoted - they have 1 game left at Halmstad. Sirius has already made the jump(promotion) into the top tier next season. Today GK Josh Wicks (90) gets the Shut Out, Tristan Bowen was in the 18/DNP and AFC united won this one 3 - 0 against Atvidabergs
Hunter Gorskie came off the bench for the final 20 minutes as Legnica traveled to Tychy and won 0 - 2 in Poland's Division 1. Legnica break a 2 game losing streak

SUNDAY
While you were sleeping, Matthew Wiesenfarth started for Canterbury United in New Zealand's Premier League as they visited Southern United and won 1 -3
GK Daniel Schmidt, who missed last weeks game, is back in the net for Yamaga in Japan League 2 as they visit Yamagata in one of the last games of the season. Things are tight at the top of the table so a win is important, Yamaga ended this one 0 - 1 and move within 3 points of top spot, and draw away from the #3 team by three points. Daniel Schmidt is back and gets a Shut Out for his team
Haji Wright and Weston McKennie both started for Schalke U19 as they traveled to FC Koln in Junior Bundesliga (West) and let one slip away, as they gave up a late goal, with the game ending 1 - 1

Connor O'Brien (90) and Horsens visited Sonderjyske in Denmark's Superliga and hit a brick wall, falling 2 - 0. Sonderjyske has been on a bit of a run lately (4 wins out of 5) and have now jumped over Horsens in the league
Johnathan Spector (90) and Birmingham had a job on their hands today as they faced Aston Villa in a game that had the home team fighting back, for a 1 - 1 draw in the English Championship. Birmingham sit just outside the top six (on GD)
In Germany 2Liga, Russell Canouse went 90 as Bochum won their home match against Heidenheim
Sammy Adjai came off the bench with 10 minutes left in the game and helped Naestved win 1 - 2 over Nykobing in Denmark Division 1. This was Naestved's 2nd straight win and pulls them just above the drop zone
Caleb Stanko (70) and Vaduz were pummeled 5 - 0 today at Young Boys in Switzerland's Super League. Vaduz are now at the bottom of the table.
Rubio Rubin was on the bench again for Utrecht, who needed an own goal by visitors Nijmegen to get secure a 1 - 1 home draw
Dallas Aminzadeh went 90 as Oldenburg hosted Hansa in Regionalliga (Nord) and won 1 - 0
John Brooks went 90 as Hertha visited Hoffenheim in Bundesliga, and lost 1 - 0. Hoffenheim with 5 consecutive wins jumps over Hertha into 3rd place in Bundesliga. Hertha have been a little shaky lately and need to find their mojo again
Ismar Tandir was an unused sub for Javor as they traveled to FK Vozdovac in the Serbian Super Liga and won 1 - 2
Paul Torres (90) as Assyriska FF win 1 - 0 over Varnamo in Sweden's Superettan. With the win, Assyriska helped themselves, and are now in a position to lock-in a Play-off possibility to stay in Superettan next season
Keaton Parks went 65 for Varzim as they lose 2 - 1 to Penafiel in Portugal's Segunda Liga. It should be noted that when defender Keaton left the game Varzim were up 0 - 1, and gave up 2 goals in 15 minutes..the loss drops Varzim into the relegation zone (but there is plenty of time to battle out)
Jochen Graf was an unused sub as Oskarshamns visit Trollhattan in Sweden's Division 1 (Sodra) and grab a point in a 1 - 1 draw. The draw make things interesting - with 1 game left, next week, Oskarshamns are 2 points above the drop zone with 3 teams that can pass them with wins (1 can tie them with a draw) so next weeks game at home to QViding is critical, a draw may not do it
Nicholas Edginton (90) for Samorin as they visited Sered in Slovakia 2Liga (West) and lost by 1 - 0. USA Coach Mike Keeney felt that the early goal - 4th minute - really effected the games out-come. Disappointment for Samorin, who have been struggling after a good start (only 1 point from last 5 games) but they still sit in 5th place (only 1 point out of 3rd!)
A Bobby Wood Red Card, on a weak call, hammered the nail into Hamburg's chances as they fall 3 - 0 at FC Koln. Hamburg who are entrenched at the bottom of Bundesliga and still without a win, had held FC Koln scoreless up to Bobby's sending off, but 3 minutes later the floodgates opened as FC Koln pressed home their advantage
With one game left this season, Helsingborg fired on all cylinders to win 1 - 4 at bottom placed Falkenbergs. GK Quentin Westberg was back between the posts.
Helsingborg are currently 3rd from bottom in the relegation Play-off spot. Gefle who are on a charge below them are 2 points behind and mathematically can pass them. Next, and last game of the season, for both teams will decide the outcome. Gefle must visit 9th place Ostersunds (who have won their last 2) but Gefle are on a run and have not lost in their last 5 - should be an interesting game. Helsingborg will host twelfth place Jonkopings, a game that could go either way. Certainly it seems that Helsingborg has a slight edge going into the final game
Norway's Tippeligaen was pretty exciting today. Josh Gatt (80) Scored his first goal in 2 years as Molde won their next to last game 3 - 0 over hapless Stabaek and Cole Grossman (90).
Molde cannot gain European football next season, the best they can do is 4th place. Stabaek are still in a relegation battle. They face even more hapless Start at home next week, so 3 points is a real possibility, and they will need them to aid their escape. Places 12 thru 15 are all battling to stay in the top tier Stabaek seems to have an advantage over Bodo/Glimt who will travel to #1, and UCL bound, Rosenborg, Tromso will host #3 Odd, who need to win to put a claim on 2nd place, and Lillestrom will welcome (maybe) Molde. Stabaek who have a -10 GD will need to win by at least 2 goals (depending on other outcomes) to even sniff a chance at remaining in the top tier
In the other Tippeligaen game of (USA) interest, Alex De John (90) and last place, Start could not hold-out against #2 Brann at home, and lost 1 - 2. GK Alex Horvath was in the 18 but did not play today. #2 Brann and #3 Odd are only separated by GD going into the final week, they will both represent Norway in the Europa League next season
