BELGIUM
Eendracht Aalst 1 - 55. De Wilde
Standard Liege 2 - 50 Van Dooren, 85 Lukunku

Fourth-placed Standard Liege were made to work against an Eendracht Aalst side made up of youth and reserve team players. George Blay started and played the full game. The visitors didn't breach the Aalst defence until the 54th minute. The hosts then shocked their opponents by equalising, before Ali Lukunku snatched a winner for Standard six minutes from time.

CZECH
A stunning late goal by substitute Gyan Baffour gave leaders Slovan Liberec all three points and ensured they took a decisive advantage in the race for the Czech title with three games remaining. The powerful strike with six minutes to go left the home side seven points clear of Viktoria Zizkov, who have a game in hand, and nine ahead of reigning champions Sparta Prague.

Slovan coach Ladislav Skorpil, who led the club to the Uefa Cup quarter-finals, said: "We were waiting for a bit of genius from one player to decide the game and Baffour's shot was just that. It's another step on the road to the title."

Just when Liberec's dominance was dwindling, Baffour, who had come on at half-time for Ivan Hodur after a clash of heads, made a strong run down the left touchline, cut inside Rene Bolf and fired an unstoppable shot just inside the far post.

SWEDEN
AIK Stockholm 1 - Andersson 23
Norrkoping 3 - Issah Mohammed 45, Wallerstedt 83, Olsson 89(pen)

[From Anders Ljunggren] Issa Mohammed is the most technical player with the IFK Norrk?ping team. IFK was fighting hard but AIK Stockholm took the lead in the first half 1-0. Just before half-time, Issa took down a very high ball with his face, turned around and shot the ball to the AIK goalkeeper’s right corner …Gooooooooool!!! 1-1.

IFK got in to the match, thanks to Issa`s wonderful goal. IFK started the second half pushing hard and fighting, but the referee gave the new IKF Finnish defender a red card for nothing? So, IFK has to fight with 10 men. IFK got a corner kick and Wallerstedt headed it in Goooooooool!! 1-2. IFK is doing wonders against one of the best teams in Sweden. Issa creates a lot of chances and one of his passes, causes an IFK player to be brought down in the penalty area. IFK scores from the penalty; 1-3. IFK win with 10 men on the field.


Issa Mohammed and Goalkeeper Rabowski from Hungary and ?stlund were the best and hardest fighters in the match.
