FRIDAY
Kyle Scott was an unused sub as Chelsea U23 fall 4 - 1 at cross town rivals Arsenal U23. Both teams on 25 points in Premier League 2 (Division 1)
Cesar Romero went 85 for Mosta as they were pummeled by league leaders Balzan 7 - 1 in their Malta Premier league match. Mosta look to be in great difficulty, 2nd from bottom and 6 points adrift, points are paramount in the coming weeks
Andrew Wooten (90) and Sandhausen lost their home game to Braunschweig 0 - 1. That's 3 straight loses for Sandhausen who are now out of the running for any chance of promotion from Germany's 2Liga this season.
Marc Heider went 80 and Robbie Kristo returned from injury and put in 10 minutes as Osnabruck fell 0 - 1 to Bremen II in Germany's 3Liga. Osnabruck has slipped to 3rd place after 3 consecutive loses, and are now only 1 point ahead of Hallescher for the play-off spot for promotion
Charlie Rugg went 90 as Pirmasens fell 1 - 0 at Waldorf in Germany's Regionalliga (Sudwest), which was not surprising seeing as they played with just 9 men (2 red cards)
GK Quentin Westberg was an unused sub in Tours goalless draw at home to Troyes in France Ligue 2
Theo Siebatcheu went 90 and Scored the winning goal as Chatearoux beat Avranches 2 - 1 in France's National League. This was Theo's 5th goal in 4 matches since joining on loan from Riems
Gedion Zelalem entered at 56 minutes as Venlo whooped Achilles 29 4 - 0 at home in their Eerste Divisie match in the Netherlands. Venlo are now 8 points clear at the top and it looks pretty good for them getting the automatic promotion at this time
GK Ethan Horvath was the backup keeper again today as Club Brugge beat up on Waregem 5 - 0 in Belgium's Jupiler League. The win gives them a small cushion between themselves and Anderlecht who are 3 points back and have an extra game in hand
I guess the ice is melting, as Aron (Iceman) Johannsson was a bench warmer again today and watched his team Bremen win a surprising 1 - 2 victory over Wolfsburg in Bundesliga.
Not a good start for GK Ciaran Nugent and Galway, as they lose at home 0 - 1 to Drogheda in the Ireland Premier League opener. Early days....fingers crossed for Ciaran
Emerson Hyndman went 90 as Rangers traveled to Inverness and fell 2 - 1 in Scotland's Premier League. 3 Loses a Draw and a Win in their last 5 matches has really hurt any chance of 2nd place (Celtic are so far ahead they cannot be caught) Aberdeen have a game in hand and are already 6 points ahead of Rangers who have lost their mojo in a big way, since losing Warburton
SATURDAY
Japan's J-League (top tier) kicked-off their season today, and GK Daniel Schmidt was backup for his team Vegalya Sendai, as they opened at home against Sapporo, winning 1 - 0. Daniel, who was on loan to Yamaga in J2 last season, will probably spend most of the season on the bench, battling for a starting position, which will be very different from last season's stellar performance.
Isaiah Young came off the bench after 17 minutes for Bremen U19 as they came back from a 2 goal deficit to draw 2 - 2 with Dresden U19, in Junior Bundesliga (Nord/Nordost)
Timothy Tillman (90) and Bayern U19 dispatched Kaiserslautern U19, Corey Anton (90) and Kevin Coleman (3) in a 3 goal 2nd half, to win 3 - 0 in Germany's Junior Bundesliga (Süd/Südwest)
In the big game in Germany's Junior Bundesliga (West) #1 Schalke U19 with Haji Wright (90) and Weston McKennie (90 + yellow) and debutee Nick Taitague (62) traveled to #2 Dortmund U19 falling 2 - 0.

Big changes at Sonnenhof as GK David Yelldell is back on the bench, and Sonnenhof start Mario Rodrigues (86) and Joe Gyau (71) up front as they travel to Hallescher and Royal Fennel (90) and win 0 - 1, putting an end to their poor patch of form. Alternatively, Hallescher are struggling right now, and with 2 loses and 2 draws in their last 5, have slipped to 5th place in 3Liga
McKinzie Gaines (90) Scored Wolfsburg U19 3rd Goal in a 4 - 1 drubbing of JFV Nordwest U19 in Germany's Junior Bundesliga (Nord/Nordost) That's 7 goals this season for McKinzie, with 3 of them coming against JFV. Wolfsburg U19 lead the league

Branden Hines-Ike and Orebro visited BKV Norrtalje and thumped the small team 0 - 5 in Sweden Svenska Cup (Group 8). Only the top 8 teams (Group winners) go on to the next round, Orebro are sitting in 2nd in their group and will host leaders Hacken next weekend in a winner takes all
Bobby Wood was probably glad to be on the bench and not be associated with the absolute drubbing that Bayern laid on Hamburg today. If it looked like Hamburg may have hit a good stretch recently, facing Bundesliga leaders Bayern was a wake up. Final: Bayern 8 - 0 Hamburg
Terence Boyd played the 2nd half as Darmstadt fell 1 - 2 at home to Augsburg in Bundesliga
*NOTE: Some outlets have Terence with a Assist on Darmstadt's goal - unconfirmed as yet

Things did not look to good for DeAndre Yedlin (90) and Newcastle as they went into the half down 0 - 2 to Bristol City, but the league leaders fought back in a match that ended 2 - 2.

GK Brendan Moore (90) and Torquay succumbed to an 80th minute goal in a back and forth 2 - 3 loss to Sutton in England's National League. Torquay are hanging on above the drop zone and need a win or two to keep their heads above water
Hearts went without their American's as they look for a turn around of fortune in Scotland Premier League. Perry Kitchen was an unused sub, and Bjorn Johnsen (Hamstring) did not make today's squad. The plan did not work, as Hearts fall 2 - 0 at Partick and remain in 4th place
GK Danny Rogers (90) and Falkirk held on for a 2 - 2 draw with Dumbarton in Scotland's Championship. #3 Falkirk has not lost a match in their last 5, and look good for a promotional play-off spot
