Germany, 1. Bundesliga, Freiburg – Mainz 05 1:2
Nikolce Noveski played the entire game for Mainz who maintained their perfect start to the season with another victory.  Mainz now has the maximum six points from two games as Noveski started in his usual left CB position and performed well to help his side collect a narrow road victory.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Arsenal Kyiv – Dynamo Kyiv 0:2
Goran Popov played all 90 minutes for Dynamo Kyiv and was part of a defense that kept a clean sheet, despite playing with a man down since the 23rd minute after midfielder Denys Garmash was shown a straight red card by the referee.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Karpaty Lviv – Zorya 2:1
Martin Bogatinov was an unused substitute for Karpaty Lviv as he was the #2 keeper behind Andriy Tlumak.  Karpaty finally recorded their first league win of the season during the sixth round of league play.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Volyn Lutsk – Oleksandria 3:1
Vance Sikov played the entire game for Volyn Lutsk and continued his good form by scoring his first two goals for Volyn Lutsk.  He will surely make the team of the round for the second consecutive week.  Sikov opened the scoring in the 6th minute following a corner kick when his teammate sent a header towards goal and Sikov then redirected the ball to the back of the net.  Then, in the 55th minute, Sikov scored from a free kick that took a slight deflection before it went past the hapless Oleksandria keeper.

Belgium, Jupiler Pro League, Beerschot – Westerlo 3:1
Tome Pacovski was an unused substitute for Beerschot as he was the #2 keeper behind Thomas Kaminski.  This was the last game for Kaminski in a Beerschot uniform as he will soon complete his transfer to Anderlecht.  New Beerschot signing Stijn Stijnen was not eligible to play in this game so the manager decided to start Kaminski for one final time.  Stijnen will start in the next game and take over on a  regular basis with Pacovski and the other keeper Kristof Maes battling for the backup job.

Stefan Ristovski was not called up by Crotone because of an injury.

Austria, T-Mobile Bundesliga, Admira – Mattersburg 2:1

Austria, T-Mobile Bundesliga, Austria Wien – Kapfenberg 5:0
Filip Gacevski was not called up by Kapfenberg as Raphael Wolf started in goal while Philipp Gröblinger was on the bench as the #2 keeper.

Artim Polozani was not among the 18 players called up by Torpedo Moskva.
