Ivan Trickovski with another goal for APOEL, while his teammate Boban Grncarov had an assist as APOEL returned to their winning ways.

Italy, Serie A, Inter – Bologna 4:1
Goran Pandev started on the bench for Inter before he entered the game in the 75th minute replacing Samuel Eto’o.  Pandev’s best chance came in the 85th minute but his powerful left footed shot from outside of the box was just over the goal.

Italy, Campionato Primavera, Cesena Primavera – Parma Primavera 1:3
Stefan Ristovski started at RB and played the entire game for the Parma Primavera team while his teammate Agron Bufi was among the 19 players called up for this game but teams are only allowed to dress 18 players and Bufi was the odd man out so he didn’t dress for the Parma Primavera team.

Germany, 1.Bundesliga, Stuttgart – Mainz 05 1:0
Nikolce Noveski played all 90 minutes for Mainz who suffered a tough loss as the only goal of the game was scored by Stuttgart striker Martin Harnik in the 79th minute.  On the goal by Stuttgart, Noveski slipped which allowed his marker to get around him but the real culprit for Mainz was Radoslav Zabavník who should have cleared the ball to avert the danger but he tried to play the ball which turned out to be a big mistake as his bad first touch gifted Harnik an easy goal from close range as Stuttgart got a much needed three points as they are near the bottom of the standings.  This was the 18th round in the Bundesliga and Mainz is the only team that has not drawn a game up to this point as they have eleven victories and seven defeats.

Germany, 1.Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt – Hannover 96 0:3
Oka Nikolov played from the start for Eintracht Frankfurt and conceded three goals while Aleksandar Vasoski did not play because of an injury that will sideline him for about four weeks.

Cyprus, Marfin Laiki League, APOEL – AE Paphos 5:1
Both Boban Grncarov and Ivan Trickovski played the entire game for APOEL and they both had solid games as APOEL recorded a convincing victory over AE Paphos.  Trickovski returned after missing two games because of discomfort in his knee and he continued where he left off by playing a part in one goal and scoring another.  Trickovski played a part in the third goal for APOEL in the 36th minute when he dribbled past an opposing defender before he found Gustavo Manduca whose shot was saved but Esteban Solari scored on the rebound and then Trickovski scored the fifth and final goal for his team in the 90th minute from close range when he got a touch on the ball from a tight angle after some nice skill by Aílton Almeida and Manduca.  Grncarov also contributed to the win by providing the assist on the fourth goal when he took the ball away from an opposing player and then showing good vision with a nice pass to Marcinho who got around the keeper and scored into an empty net.

Cyprus, Marfin Laiki League, Ethnikos Achnas – AEK Larnaca 0:1
Edin Nuredinoski played from the start and conceded one goal in the 74th minute, Vance Sikov played the entire game at CB and had a great chance to score in the 70th minute but his powerful header was just over the goal, Filip Ivanovski started on the bench before he came on in the 65th minute replacing Gelson, while Stojan Ignjatov also started the game on the bench before he entered the game in the 78th minute replacing Abdelkarim Kissi.

Greece, Superleague Greece, Skoda Xanthi – Ergotelis 0:1

Zoran Baldovaliev started on the bench for Ironi Kiryat Shmona before he entered the game in the 56th minute replacing Shlomi Avisidris.

Friendly, Mladá Boleslav – Pardubice 1:0
Vladimir Dimitrovski played the 1st half for Mladá Boleslav and he was not supposed to play the 2nd half as the manager made some changes but Jan Kysela picked up an injury in the 49th minute so Dimitrovski came on once again and finished the game as Mladá Boleslav picked up a narrow victory in their first friendly of 2011 as they prepare for the second part of the season in the Czech Republic.

Friendly, Mattersburg – SV Horn 2:0
Ilco Naumoski started for Mattersburg and played until the 20th minute when he picked up an injury and had to be substituted by Thorsten Röcher who is currently on trial at the club.
