Eric Lichaj (90) and Nottingham lose 0 - 1 at home to Blackburn, in England's Championship. Just 2 points above the red line...they are in trouble (just 5 points from last 5 games)
Duane Holmes was an unused sub in Scunthorpe's 0 - 1 away win at MK Dons in England's League One. Still in the thick of it, for a promotional play-off spot.
Nial Mason went 90, picked up a yellow, as Doncaster traveled to Colchester and forced a 1 - 1 draw, keeping their 6 point lead on top of England's League Two - Doncaster are PROMOTED to England League One
Tim Ream went 90 for Fulham as they traveled to Norwich and earned a tough 1 - 3 victory, playing the 2nd half a man down. They are still knocking on the door of a promotional play-off spot, only 3 points separate #7 Fulham from #4 Reading
GK Brendan Moore (90) and Torquay look to be heading down, 4 points adrift of safety and with time running out, yet again they gave up the lead late in the game and crumbled..at least this time it was at league leaders Lincoln - Final 2 - 1 in England's National League
Danijal Brkovic went 90 Scored the games only goal as Celik Zenica visited Olimpic Sarajevo in Bosnia's Premier League (Relegation Group) wining 0 - 1. Celik still in big trouble, 2nd from bottom.
Shane O'Neill went 90, picked up a yellow, as NAC Breda fall 2 - 1 at Helmond in Netherlands Eerste Divisie. That's 2 straight losses at a time they are fighting for a post season play-off spot
Gedion Zelalem came off the bench for Venlo at 68' mark to help his team win 1 - 2 at Waalwijk in Eerste Divisie. Venlo seem to have recovered from their rough spot (lets call it a blip) and have put together 2 wins, and an 8 point cushion at the top of the league with only a few games left to play
DeAndre Yedlin, back in the Newcastle saddle again, as they hold off Leeds in the English Championship, but the 1 - 1 draw probably hands the top spot to Brighton (who won again) although Newcastle still look good for the #2 spot and automatic promotion to the Premier League
GK Ciaran Nugent was in his familiar back up position as Galway managed a point at home with a 1 - 1 draw with St Patricks, as both teams struggle in the early season
Perry Kitchen got the captains armband again and Hearts finished the regular season with a goalless draw at Kilmarnock. Hearts enter the post season Championship Group at 5th place, in the hunt for a European competition place next season. Bjorn Johnsen was an unused sub in the game. I'm sure Hearts will be disappointed with the poor form hitting at the end of the season, when they started so well
Jordan Siebatcheu (90) in Chateauroux 1 - 1 home draw with Chambly in France National League. Chateauroux have hit a bad spot, right now, which has dropped them to 4th place (5 points in 5 games)
SATURDAY
GK Kenneth Kronholm (90) for Kiel as they visited Erfurt in Germany's 3Liga and snagged an away point in a 1 - 1 draw. Kiel in 3rd place (tied with Magdeburg)
Royal Fennell went 90,picked up a yellow as Hallescher were held 1 - 1 at home by Duisburg in 3Liga
Regensburg and Jann George (90 + yellow) hosted Bremen II in 3Liga, winning this one 3 - 1 and boosting Regensburg into 2nd place.
Joe Gyau went 86 minutes, while GK David Yelldell watched from the bench as Sonnenhof scored twice in a 5 minute stretch in the first half and held on to beat Mainz II 2 - 1 in 3Liga. Devante Parker was an unused sub for Mainz II who look a sure bet for relegation into Regionalliga.

Oh Dear! John Brooks gets hit with an OG and a yellow card in a 90' performance as Hertha fall to Mainz 0 - 1. Hertha holding on to the automatic Europa League spot by their fingernails

In England's Premier League, Geoff Cameron went 90 as Stoke beat Hull 3 - 1, breaking a 3 game losing streak for Stoke
In England's Championship, Danny Williams (90 + yellow) traveled to Aston Villa and won 1 - 3, moving to 4th place, looking more likely they will be in the post-season play-offs
In Scotland's Premier League, Emerson Hyndman went 90 and is credited with the Assist on Rangers 2nd goal, as they win 2 - 0 over Partick. Regular season is done, Rangers end 3rd, next up Championship Group (6 teams) will play for their Europe spots
In Scotland's Championship, GK Danny Rogers is back in the squad, spending today on the bench as Falkirk come from behind twice to tie St Mirren 2 - 2 . Falkirk still in 2nd place
Mason Robertson (90) has become a regular for Stenhousemuir in Scotland's Division 1, the team is not doing to well, losing again today, 0 - 1 at home to #1 Livingstone and looking more and more likely to be in Division 2 next season

Eric Lickert got 12 minutes in as Freiburg II win 2 - 1 over Karlsruher II in Oberliga (Baden-Württemberg)

Caleb Stanko (90) in Vaduz 0 - 1 home loss to Sion in Switzerland's Super League. Vaduz 5 points adrift at the bottom of the table looked doomed and a good bet for relegation

Shaq Moore only lasted the first half as Levante UD B visited Valencia B and drew 1 - 1 in Spain's Segunda Division B (Group 3) . Levante UD B are right on the edge of disaster (ahead only on GD) an away draw is a good result against the #3 team, but when you need points......just sayin'
Aaron Schoenfeld was an unused sub as M Tel Aviv beat Petah Tikva 2 - 0 and drew with 3 points of the top spot in Israel's Ligat ha'Al (Championship Group) M.Tel Aviv are already set for an automatic berth in the Europa League
Matt Miazga left the field (injury ? Hamstring) in the 27th minute and Vitesse fall 1 - 0 at Excelsior in Netherlands Eredivisie. Vitesse should still make the Netherlands Europa League play-off.
Nermin Crnkic started for Sarajevo as they fought to a goalless draw at Zeljeznicar in Bosnia Premier League (Championship Group) Zrinjski won and jumped over both teams in the standings. As it stands right now -#1 Zrinjski would play UCL, #2 Zeljeznicar & #3 Sarajevo would enter Europa League
SUNDAY
It seems that Vegaita Sendai's problems go deeper than their goalkeeper squad. GK Daniel Schmidt, who had an outstanding last season was between the posts as Sendai suffered a 1 - 4 drubbing at the hands of #2 Kashima in Japan's J-League. Sendai has now played 3 different goalkeepers this young season (7 games) and given up 15 goals - the worst GA in J-League.
Russell Canouse came off the bench at 79' to help his team Bochum hold on to a slim 1 - 0 lead in Germany 2Liga. Bochum broke a string of draws (4 straight) with the win
Jerome Kiesewetter was an unused sub in Dusseldorf's 1 - 1 draw at Dresden in 2Liga
Shawn Barry went 90 for FSV Frankfurt and Marc Heider went 90 for Osnabruck in a 1 - 1 draw in Germany's 3Liga. Neither team benefited from the draw, with FSV in serious relegation trouble, and Osnabruck missing the chance to go 3rd (promotion spot)
In Sweden's Allsvenskan, Brendan Hines-Ike (90 + yellow) and Orebro won their match with Ostersunds 2 - 1 to maintain their 'shared' lead at the top of the table
In Sweden's Superettan, Alex de John (15) and Dalkurd are still unbeaten, today they held on for a goalless draw with Varbergs, very early days of the season. Dalkurd have Andrew Stadler available, but he has not yet made the game day squad
Aron Johannsson was an unused sub as Bremen faced off with Hamburg in Bundesliga, winning 2 - 1 (Bobby Wood has a knock, that kept him off the Hamburg squad today)
Romain Gall entered the match at the 83' mark for Sundsvall as they hosted Hacken in Sweden's Allsvenskan. Not enough time really for him to have an effect on the outcome, as Sundsvall fall 1 - 2. This is their 2nd straight loss, after opening with a win.
