Starting in Spain’s La Liga, Maty Ryan (cap #555) was in goal for Levante as they came back from 2-0 down after 11 minutes to beat Osasuna 3-2 with a 90th-minute winner on Saturday.
The win moves Levante to within two points of safety as they fight to stave off relegation with three matches remaining.
In the German Bundesliga, Jackson Irvine (cap #568) played another full game and assisted, while Connor Metcalfe (cap #611) also started and played 89 minutes for St Pauli in a 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig on Saturday.
The defeat was St. Pauli’s third straight loss and leaves the club second from bottom on the Bundesliga table, level on points with Wolfsburg, who occupy the relegation play-off position.
With Wolfsburg also falling to Bayern Munich over the weekend, next week’s clash at the Millerntor-Stadion shapes as a season-defining encounter, with the winner earning a shot at survival through the relegation play-off against a 2. Bundesliga side.
Moving to the Scottish Premiership, Martin Boyle (cap #599) played 75 minutes and assisted in Hibernian's 3-1 win over Falkirk FC on Sunday.
Ante Suto also came off the bench in the 75th minute while Jack Iredale played a full game.
Elsewhere, Cameron Devlin (cap #625) came on in the 87th minute for Heart of Midlothian in a 1-1 draw with Motherwell on Sunday.
The result extended Hearts’ lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to four points over Celtic as they continue their push for a first league title in 66 years, and potentially become the first club outside of Celtic or Rangers to win the competition since 1985.
Ryan Strain (cap #624) also played a full game for Dundee United in a 2-0 loss to Aberdeen on Sunday.
Over to the Championship play-offs, where Riley McGree (cap #609) played 69 minutes as Middlesbrough were held to a 0-0 draw by Southampton in the semi-final first leg at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.
Boro dominated the opening half, registering 17 shots to Southampton’s none and going closest through Tommy Conway, whose effort rattled the inside of the post.
The visitors improved after the break and nearly snatched a late winner when captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis headed against the crossbar, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg at St Mary’s.
Sam Silvera (cap #634) was also an unused substitute.
In the MLS, Lucas Herrington (cap #658) played another full game for Colorado Rapids as they lost 1-0 to St Louis on Sunday.

Looking to the Netherlands, Jordan Bos (cap #632) played a full game as Feyenoord drew 1-1 with AZ Alkmaar on Monday in the Eredivisie and secure automatic qualification to next season's UEFA Champions League.
He will become the first Australian since 2023 when Milos Degenek played in Europe's premier club competition.
Also, Max Balard (cap #652) started for NAC Breda in a chaotic afternoon of Eredivisie survival drama, with their 2-0 clash against SC Heerenveen suspended due to crowd behaviour on Monday.
FC Volendam’s draw confirmed Breda’s relegation regardless of their own result, before the match was abandoned while NAC held a 2-0 lead. The fixture will now resume behind closed doors on Tuesday.
Jacob Italiano (cap #653) started and played 82 minutes for Grazer AK in a 2-2 draw with SCR Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday.

Looking to the Czech Republic, Garang Kuol (cap #627) came on in the 81st minute for Sparta Prague in a dramatic and ultimately abandoned derby against Slavia Prague on Sunday.
With Slavia leading 3-2 and just moments away from clinching the league title, supporters invaded the pitch with flares, forcing players to flee the field as chaotic scenes unfolded at Fortuna Arena.
