• Ligue 1. Folarin Balogun scored in Reims' 3-1 loss at Montpellier to finish his loan spell in France with 21 goals, the most ever by an American in a European big 5 league. • LaLiga. If Yunus Musah has played his last game for Valencia, it ended in ignominious fashion as he was red carded in the 81st minute of Valencia' 1-1 tie with Real Betis, three minutes after he entered the game. Los Che avoided relegation, as did Luca de la Torre's Celta. • Pro League. Mark McKenzie's Genk let the Belgium league title slip away, conceding a goal in the 94th minute to make it 2-2 at home and give Royal Antwerp its first title since 1957. (Sam Vines didn't play in last six months for Antwerp after suffering a broken leg.)
