In soccer not everyday is going to be a great day - today may be one of those day's. There is good stuff, but not so good as well (and a lot of 'short appearances). First we had 3 goals, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Germany and 1 in Iceland. We had a shut-out in Germany from 1 goalkeeper, and a very costly red card from another in Norway.
2 teams in Germany were promoted to Bundesliga next season, in Denmark one team is on the cusp of promotion, one team will play in a play-off final in England, 3 teams, in 2 country's (Belgium and Netherlands's, will play in play-playoffs for a Europa League place.

At Utrecht, Rubio Rubin was in 18 (DNP) as they fell at home 1 - 3 to Alkmaar. Alkmaar qualified for the Eredivisie Europa League Play-offs.
Omar Castro (in 18 / DNP) was hoping to make his debut for Braunschweig in Germany 2Liga as they visited Bochum and won 2 - 3 - maybe he will get off the bench next game - hope so
In Finland's Kakkonen, GK Nathan Stokie (90) and forward Jakeem Johnson (90) were on the losing side as PEPO 1 were beaten 0 - 3 at home by FC Futura in Kakkonen Group A

Kenny Saief started and went 90 as Gent suffered a horrible home loss to Club Brugge, 1 - 4. Belgium has a play-off system for UCL and Europa, so despite the loss they are still in position for the Europa League spot in the 10 match play-off, after 7 games played.

Conor O'Brien started and went 90 as Horsens hosted Skive in Denmark's Bet25 Liga (2nd tier) Horsens won the game 3 - 2. Horsens look good for promotion with 4 games left. Be good to see Conor back playing at highest level
Oh Dear! Looks like GK Ethan Horvath has cost his team a win. Ethan started and went 82 minutes before being ejected for a straight RED card. At that time Molde were winning 1 - 3 against Haugesund. The red card resulted in an 85th minute penalty and that was followed by an 89th minute goal - and the game ended at 3 - 3, and Molde dropped out of 2nd place to 3rd - expensive day for Ethan.
In Iceland, Dion Acoff Scored Throttur's first goal as they played KR Reykjavik in Iceland's Pepsideild (1st tier) the game ultimately ended in a 2 - 2 draw, with Dion going 90
