Italy, Serie A, Parma – Inter 1:1
Goran Pandev started once again for Inter and was very active early on as he threatened in the 2nd minute with a powerful left footed shot and then again four minutes later but the Parma keeper was up to the challenge and saved both shots. Pandev showed his creativity and vision throughout the 1st half by setting up his teammates but Inter could not break down the resilient Parma defense. Pandev was quiet in the 2nd half and seemed tired but he did play all 90 minutes and received a yellow card in the 19th minute.
Germany, DFB Pokal, Osnabruck – Schalke 04 0:1
Besart Ibraimi was an unused substitute for Schalke who had a tough time beating Osnabruck, who are in the 3rd League in Germany.
England, League Championship, Preston North End – Sheffield United 2:1
Velice Sumulikoski was not among the 18 players called up by Preston. Preston received midfielder Matthew James on loan from Manchester United and James opened the scoring in the 10th minute for Preston. It will be interesting to see if Sumulikoski will be called up for the March 3rd game against Montenegro and beyond since Mirsad Jonuz has said that he will not call up players who do not play for their club teams.

Edin Nuredinoski and Vance Sikov played all 90 minutes for Ethnikos Achnas while their new teammate Slavco Georgievski made his debut for Ethnikos Achnas when he came on in the 73rd minute replacing Ivan Petrovic when they were down 1:0. A crazy ending to this game as the game had to be abandoned after Ethnikos equalized in the 6th minute of stoppage time while the referee had only shown 4 minutes of stoppage time. APEP were furious and their players left the field.
