Abdoulie Ceesay made his seventh Bundesliga appearance when he replaced Sinani in the 83rd minute; Bayern, however, held on to their 3-2 lead despite a late scare.
France
Ablie Jallow has scored in Metz FC’s last two home matches. Jallow, who was ruled out in March World Cup qualifiers, retained his position and went on to play 86 minutes in Metz’s 2-1 victory against Troyes on Friday evening. The win propelled the Grenats to register four wins in a row. Ablie Jallow’s solo effort in the half hour failed to be fruitful. However, Jallow extended Metz’s lead in the 82nd minute with a sublime finish.
Switzerland

Denmark
Vejle secured their first away win in 23 years when they beat Lynby in Sjælland. Vejle came from behind to secure a crucial 2-1 win, which even saw Vekić saving a penalty. Hamza Barry was handed a start as he replaced suspended Kirkegaard and lasted 89 minutes, while Musa Juwara was introduced in the second half in the 73rd minute. Hamza started the buildup for the equalizer, as the visitors scored the leveler in the 15th minute. Juwara, on the other hand, put a through ball for Onugha, but the pass was fast, and the visitor’s goalkeeper collected it. Vejle will now face Aalborg in hopes of securing another Superliga ticket.
James Gomez was introduced late in the game as Odense beefed up their defense to collect maximum points against AC Horsens. Sunday’s 1-0 is Odense BK’s first win in five attempts after securing four draws in a row. The victory has sent them nine points clear as they seek to return to the Superliga.

Estonia
Muhammed Susso was handed his first start of the season, and the former Real de Banjul offensive player didn’t disappoint as he went on to score a brace, with one of his goals being a stunner. Susso was replaced by countryman Assan Corr in the 62nd minute. GK Ebrima Jarju kept his second clean sheet of the season after matchday four.
