Yengi and McGowan on target
Tete Yengi and Ryan McGowan found the net as Livingston cruised to a 3-0 victory over Cove Rangers in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
Yengi continued his strong form with a brace off the bench. Meanwhile, veteran defender McGowan added his name to the scoresheet to help secure progression to the quarter-finals.
With their Cup run still alive, Livingston will be looking to carry this momentum into their league campaign.
McGowan has played every minute of Livingston's last 18 games, and they are now undefeated across their previous six competitive fixtures as they sit near the top of the Scottish Championship.
Another goal involvement for Carter
Anthony Carter was at it again in Liga Portugal 2, providing a crucial assist as Alverca came from behind to draw 2-2 with Academico Viseu.
With another assist, the in-form forward continued his run of goal contributions as Alverca continued their promotion push.
Carter has 14 goals and four assists across 23 appearances this season, proving his consistent impact in the final third and remaining one of the standout Aussies consistently playing in Europe.
Maclaren at the double
Jamie Maclaren struck twice as Mohun Bagan secured a 3-0 victory over Punjab in the Indian Super League.
The Socceroos striker was clinical in front of goal, with fellow Aussie Jason Cummings assisting one of his finishes during a lively 77-minute display.
The win helped Mohun Bagan strengthen their title push in the ISL, sitting 10 points clear on top of the league.
