FK Van faces a crucial battle to avoid relegation playoffs, needing victories in their final two league matches and favorable results elsewhere.

Yusuf Otubanjo’s penalty goal in Pyunik’s 3-0 victory at BKMA brought his season tally to 20, putting him within touching distance of the league’s top scorer spot, a position he jointly held last season with 17 goals.

Czech Republic:
In the Czech Liga, Victor Olatunji played a pivotal role as Sparta Prague secured a vital 2-1 win over Baník Ostrava, edging closer to retaining their league title.

Egypt:
Former Rivers United player Godwin Okwara rescued El Geish with a 72nd-minute equalizer in a thrilling 1-1 draw against Ismaily in the Premier League.

Russia:
Victor Moses made a cameo appearance for Spartak Moscow in their disappointing 1-0 semifinal loss to Baltika in the Russian Cup.

Scotland:
Cyriel Dessers added to his impressive tally with his 16th Premiership goal of the season, helping Rangers FC stage a remarkable comeback from a two-goal deficit to thrash Dundee 5-2 at the Ibrox Stadium.
