Italy, Serie A, Inter – Genoa 0:0
Goran Pandev once again started at left wing in Inter’s 4-2-3-1 formation.  He also exchanged places with Mario Balotelli and played on the right side as well.  In Inter’s formation, Pandev is asked to drop back and play defense which is not really his game.  Inter was quiet in the 1st half and Genoa was committing a lot of fouls to slow down Inter who beat Genoa 5:0 earlier in the year.  They were clipping their heels from behind and Pandev seemed badly hurt in the 44th minute when he stayed down for several minutes but thankfully he was able to continue.  Inter started slowly in the 2nd half so they decided to make a change and brought on Samuel Eto’o to take Pandev’s place in the 61st minute.  Inter couldn’t break down Genoa and the game finished 0:0.

Germany, 1. Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt – Schalke 04 1:4
Oka Nikolov played the entire game for Eintracht who conceded two quick goals in the first half, one on a header from a corner kick and the other on a header from a set piece situation.  Eintracht made it 1:2 in the 52nd minute before Schalke scored two late goals and won 4:1.  Aleksandar Vasoski remains out with an injury for Eintracht while for Schalke, Besart Ibraimi was an unused substitute.

Germany, 1. Bundesliga, Hoffenheim – Mainz 0:1

Velice Sumulikoski was once again not called up by Preston North End.

Switzerland, Axpo Super League, St. Gallen – Aarau 2:2
Aco Stojkov had another solid game for Aarau.  He had one assist and was very active throughout the game.  His team had a 2:0 lead and Stojkov had a chance to make it 3:0 in the 71st minute but his shot hit the post.  St. Gallen dominated the last 20 minutes and scored twice to earn a point.  Stojkov was substituted off in the 90th minute as Aarau seemed content with getting a point.  Aarau remains last place in the Swiss League but they are now only 4 points behind Bellinzona.

Aleksandar Mitreski started for Sion and played until the 57th minute.

Austria, T-Mobile Bundesliga, Austria Kärnten – Mattersburg 2:4

Austria, T-Mobile Bundesliga, RB Salzburg – Magna Wr Neustadt 1:1
Mensur Kurtisi started on the bench for the visitors before he came on at the start of the 2nd half replacing Michael Stanislaw.  Magna were down 1:0 at halftime but Kurtisi brought some creativity and they started to look more dangerous.  Kurtisi played a part in Magna’s equalizer in the 83rd minute as he took a long free kick that was initially saved by the Salzburg keeper but Hannes Aigner scored on the rebound to make it 1:1.  A good result for Magna against the current leaders in Austria who also went undefeated in their Europa League group that included Villareal, Lazio, and Levski Sofia.

Belgium, Jupiler League, Germinal Beerschot – Zulte-Waregem 1:1
Tome Pacovski played all 90 minutes for Germinal who fell behind in the 8th minute before they equalized in the 90th minute.  Pacovski made a great save in the 48th minute to keep his team in the game and that proved to be a huge save as Germinal equalized later on and took a point from the game.

Hungary, Soproni Liga, Lombard Papa – Debreceni 1:5
Mirsad Mijadinoski scored a goal for the second straight week for his team Debreceni.  It started horribly for Mijadinoski as he conceded a penalty in the 11th minute as he pulled down an opposing player in the box but he bounced back and scored a goal in the 40th minute to give his team a 3:1 lead.  Debreceni added two more and won easily 5:1.  Mijadinoski also received a yellow card.
