DAILY WRAP: 3/2/2016 - Goals by Rodriguez, Villalobos Assist by Johnson

Another busy mid-week schedule, although from a US player perspective, quite a few MIA's (for various reasons) still enough going on to keep interest high. Mario Rodriguez scored, the winner, for M'Gladbach II. Gus Villalobos scored tying the game for Pembroke in Malta, and Fabian Johnson continued his hot streak with an excellent assist on the opening goal for M'Gladbach's senior squad. Elsewhere Alejandro Bedoya could not find the magic to help Nantes today. To the list;

DAILY WRAP: 1/20/2016

UPDATED  1/21/2016
Final 16 are set in France, Coupe de France. Nantes and Alejandro Bedoya will visit Bordeaux. Nantes and Bordeaux are separated by 1 point in Ligue 1 (11th & 10th) Alejandro's goal today was his first of this season.

Original Post
Still not much action going on - Germany among others will complete their Winter Break this coming weekend. So just one game of note today.

Alejandro Bedoya saved Nantes in the French Coupe de France. As is often the case A-List teams put out a reserve (B) squad when playing minnows in cup games, and as often happens they get bit!
Nantes found themselves going into ET following a goalless draw after 90 minutes against CFA (5th tier) minnows Mantes - careful with the names :) - Alejandro came off the bench at 105 min...for the 2nd half of ET, and promptly scored in minute 107, giving his team the win. Final: Mantes 0 - 1 Nantes
