Nikolce Noveski and Mainz maintain their perfect start in the German Bundesliga with five wins out of five games, Mirko Ivanovski and Zoran Baldovaliev each scored a goal for their respective teams, while the problems continue for Ilco Naumoski who picked up two yellow cards in the span of five minutes and was sent off for Mattersburg.
Italy, Serie A, Inter – Bari 4:0
Goran Pandev played all 90 minutes for Inter who picked up a convincing victory over Bari. Pandev attempted a shot with his weaker right foot in the 25th minute which didn’t trouble the Bari keeper as the shot lacked power and was wide off the goal. He then attempted another shot towards the end of the game in the fourth minute of stoppage time but his shot was way over the goal.

Austria, T-Mobile Bundesliga, Mattersburg – Magna Wiener Neustadt 0:3
Ilco Naumoski started for Mattersburg but he didn’t last long as he picked up two quick yellow cards and was sent off by the referee. In the 18th minute, he jumped over a Magna defender and the defender fell which led to the referee giving Naumoski a yellow card. It seemed like a basic foul that happens all the time during a game but Naumoski’s reputation is bad amongst referees and it doesn’t take much for him to get booked. In the 23rd minute, he said something to the referee who immediately showed him another yellow card and that was it for Naumoski.
