Midfielder Seidu Yahaya picked 93rd minute booking as his played the entire game for Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol  who succumbed to a 3-0 home defeat against Norwegian side Odd Grenland.

Duo Mohammed Abu and Bismark Adjei-Boateng were in full time action for Norwegian side Stromsgodset as they triumphed 3-1 over Albanian side Partizani.

Obeng Regan was not in the Cukaricki team as the Serbian side managed a slim 1-0 win over Domzale in an away fixture.
