WEEKLY WRAP: 3.26 through 4.2.2018: EXTRA Includes Easter Monday

OK I added Easter Monday, as it was as busy in Europe as Sunday, and results this time of year are going to mean promotion or relegation. Our guys did pretty good when you consider the week was still busy with the international break and players traveling. We managed 18 Goals, 4 Assists and 2 Clean Sheets. Shout-Outs in order for Nick Taitague who scored twice and had an assist in Germany. Joe Efford had his 2nd two goal match in less than a month in Greece, and our main shout goes out to Fehim Dedic who scored 3 times and had an assist in two matches. Emmanuel Sabbi came back from injury in Denmark and scored his first goal for his team. Before we leave goals, we had 2 matches this week with 2 yanks playing for opposite sides and scoring, Etchu Tabe and Gerald Ben in Finland, Nermin Crnkic and Marc Heider(also had an assist) in Germany

Marcel Costly had an assist to add to his goal and Lyndon Gooch has been trying to put some energy into his team this week, and also getting an assist. The season has yet to start in Sweden's lower leagues, but don't tell Jeff Gal that, as he gets a commanding clean sheet in a friendly.

Some other news of note. US U18 Owen Otasowie got his first start for Wolves U23, Zyen Jones played the 2nd half of a friendly for Schalke U19 and Josh Sargent played for Bremen U19 in a tournament and was their hero as he scored 5 goals, and helped his team to 3rd place.

<EDITOR NOTE> There will not be a "Wrap" next weekend - I have surgery scheduled this week and will be thinking about my health instead of soccer. Hopefully I will be well enough to continue the following week. Thanks for your understanding.

OK! to the lists.

WEEKLY WRAP: 1.22 thru 1.28.2018: Chandler, Saief, Amon Provide The Spark

Statistically not the best week, but a good week nevertheless. A few player's shone and deserve to be part of the weekly shout out! Let's start with Romain Gall, who scored the winner (in a friendly) for Sundsvall. Shout out because he also scored a hatrick last week - that didn't make the list (my bad) so that's 4 goals in 2 games. Shout Out to Kenny Saief who played twice this week, getting a goal & an Assist for Anderlecht, although it must be said, he missed a PK that would have won one of the games. 2 Goalkeepers, Danny Rogers, who we have followed for a while at Aberdeen, got his opportunity when the starting keeper had to leave the game, a match that ultimately Aberdeen lost. But he was back with his first start a few days later and held his own in a 3 - 1 win. Finland is back with it's Suomen Cup, which is really just a pre-season competition. Goalkeeper Tim Murray, who was so good last year, just picked it up again, and gets the first of what I expect will be many clean sheets this coming season. Others of note; Alfredo Morales got an early goal in Germany, Jonathan Amon in Denmark with an assist, Dion Acoff with a goal for Valur in Iceland, and Mason Robertson scored yet again in Scotland

The injury bug hit again, with Emmanuel Sabbi and Danny Williams both leaving the field early - lets hope for a speedy recovery for our guys!

OK to the lists, first the short list

GOALS
Juan Torres - Belgium
Mason Robertson - Scotland
Romain Gall (3) - Sweden (last week)
Romain Gall - Sweden
Kenny Saief - Belgium
Alfredo Morales - Germany
Dion Acoff - Iceland

ASSISTS
Timothy Chandler - Germany
Jonathan Amon - Denmark
Kenny Saief - Belgium

SHUT OUTS
Tim Murray - Finland

.....and now the longer, more comprehensive list;

MONDAY

Shane O'Neill (60) returning from injury needs playing time, he didn't get off the bench this past weekend so Excelsior had him suit up for the Jong Excelsior squad today as they traveled to Jong Feyenoord and won 0 - 3 in the Reserve League

Kai Koreniuk (73) as Jong AZ draw 1 - 1 at home with Den Bosch in Netherlands Eerste Divisie. Jong AZ pull themselves a little further away from relegation - now 7 points clear of the drop

Indiana Vassilev (90) Callum Stretch on the bench as Aston Villa U18 traveled to Bury Town U18 in the FA Youth Cup match, with Bury Town winning 1 - 0. (Of note: only the second time in the history of Bury Football Club, that they have reached the 5th round of The FA Youth Cup)

Marcel Costly was on the bench as (then) 3Liga leaders Magdeburg visited bottom placed Erfurt, and as the soccer gods dictate, lost 3 - 1. Magdeburg are now in 2nd place 1 point behind Paderborn, with both teams looking to place for automatic promotion to 2Liga

Josh Perez off the bench at 80' in a 1 - 1 draw as Livorno visits Lucchese in Italy's Serie C (Group A) Livorno are 10 points clear at the top, but draws with bottom half of the table clubs is a way to let that lead slip.

TUESDAY

James Murphy (55) as Sheffield Wednesday U23 hosted Bolton U23 in England's PDL (North) with Bolton winning 1 - 2. Bolton have now remained uneaten since October, and have now taken over the league leadership (on GD) from Sheffield Wednesday, who are in the midst of a spell of bad form

Emmanuel Sabbi (35) exited the match early with an injury, as Hobro went on to win this friendly 2 - 1 over Skive, in an all Denmark affair

GK Quentin Westberg (90 + yellow) and Auxerre traveled to Nantes and escaped with a 3 - 4 win in the Coupe de France. Auxerre had taken a 3 goal lead before giving up 3 and scrabbling for a 4th that gave them the win and a trip into the next round.

Kyle Scott (90) as Chelsea U23 hosted League One Oxford Utd. in the Checkatrade Trophy quarter finals, winning 3 - 0 and advancing to the semi's

In 2Liga in Germany, Alfredo Morales (66) as Ingolstadt were held scoreless at home by Sandhausen (who had none of their US contingent dressed for the match)

GK Kenneth Kronholm (90) as, joint league leaders, Kiel had trouble with Union Berlin and settled for a 2 - 2 draw at home in 2Liga

In England's League One, Duane Holmes (90) and Scunthorpe were held to a 1 - 1 draw by Niall Mason (54) and Doncaster. Scunthorpe are 4 points off the automatic promotion slot, but its tight at the top and every point matters (so dropping 2 today was not a good thing)

Mason Robertson (90) Scored Peterhead's 2nd Goal, giving his team a chance to tie things up at the end of the match, unfortunately that didn't happen and Peterhead were beaten 2 - 3 by Scottish Championship side Dumbarton, and are out of the Scotland FA Cup, good run though from the League 2 side

WEDNESDAY

Romain Gall started for Sundsvall in a friendly with Ostersunds, and won 1 - 0 on a Goal Scored by Romain. (Romain Scored 3 goals last Saturday in a friendly at Sirius, so that's 4 Goals in 2 matches for Romain)

Marlon Fossey came off the bench at 58' for Fulham U23 as they traveled to Middlesbrough U23 in England's Premier League 2 (Group 2) and won 0 - 2. I believe that this was Marlon's 1st appearance this season (not 100% sure) Fulham rise to 2nd place , while Middlesbrough sit in shared 1st with 2 other teams.

Brendan Hines-Ike (90) as Orebro hosted Division 1, Rynninge and lost 0 - 1 -just pre-season but argh! not good

Terence Boyd started in a friendly between Darmstadt & Kaiserslautern - that was abandoned after a medical emergency involving K'Slautern's coach. We hope for a speedy recovery

Kenny Saief (90) Scored the equalizing Goal for Anderlecht, and then missed a PK 3 minutes into ET that would have won the match over Waasland-Beveren in Belgium's Jupiler. The disappointing 2 - 2 draw keeps Anderlecht in 3rd place

Julian Green (90) as Furth visited Bielefeld in Germany's 2Liga and snagged a point (against a better team -always debatable) in goalless draw. That's 2 wins/2 draws/1 loss in their last 5 as they battle to get out of the red zone.

Kevin Lankford (81) as Heidenheim win 2 - 0 over Braunschweig in 2Liga. in a battle of teams heading in opposite directions

GK Danny Rogers made his debut for Aberdeen in Scotland's Premier League as their #1 keeper went down injured during a goalmouth scramble that saw the keeper hurt and a PK awarded to Rangers..,Unfortunately Danny Rogers first play for Aberdeen was to face a PK by Rangers at Ibrox (are you kidding me). The game ended 2 - 0 in favor of Rangers, but Danny got on the field after polishing wood all season.

THURSDAY

Rescheduled from yesterday, GK Brandon Austin (90) and Tottenham U23 held on to a 3 - 3 draw at home to Portugal's Benfica B (no Keaton Parks today) in the England Premier League International Cup (Group F) Looks like Tottenham U23 will advance out of the group stage, unfortunately Benfica B will not be joining them

Andrew Stadler played the 1st Half and Alex De John the 2nd, as newly promoted (to Allsvenskan) Dalkurd played its first friendly of the season at IK Frej (Superettan) and won 1 - 2

FRIDAY

When Alfredo Morales headed in Ingolstadt's first Goal after 3 minutes, expectations were high, then there was a 2nd goal, OK it's over!!! Hold on though, 3 unanswered goals by Regensburg and the match is turned on its head, as the home team find's a way to win, in Germany 2Liga. Jann George played the first half for Regensburg

In Germany 3Liga, Mario Rodriguez came off the bench at 66' mark, but Sonnenhof were already 2 goals in arrears, and Mario could not change that at Sonnenhof fall 2 - 0 at Zwickau. 3 loses in their last 4 and Sonnenhof look to be out of contention in the promotion race...

In France Ligue 2, GK Quentin Westberg remained on the bench as Auxerre saved a point at home with a 90 +5 goal to tie things up a 1 - 1 with visitors Paris FC. With 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss in their last 5, Auxerre seem to have pulled themselves away from an end of season scrap to survive...will have to wait and see

In Netherlands Eerste Divisie, Telstar and Andrija Novakovich (subbed at 90 +) managed a 2 - 1 win over visitors Jong AZ and Kai Koreniuk (73). The win leaves Telstar in 4th place - 4 points behind 3rd place Sittard. Jong AZ are 7 points clear of relegation and last place Jong Utrecht (only 1 team is relegated)

In an excellent result for Frankfurt, Timothy Chandler (90) is credited with the Assist on the first Goal as they go on to beat M'Gladbach 2 - 0 in Bundesliga and move into 2nd place. M'Gladbach drop to 6th (on GD - tied with 4 other teams)
