There were seven goals to report from Scandinavia, with three netted by former Enugu Rangers star Chisom Egbuchunam in Falkenbergs FF's 4 - 1 rout of Degerfors.
The 26-year-old scored in the 8th and 27th minute to give the home team a 3-0 lead at the Falcon Alkoholfri Arena (Falkenberg), before netting his third in the 70th minute.
In the Norwegian Eliteserien, Daniel Chima was on target in his second successive league game but it was not enough to prevent Molde from losing 3-2 at home against Ranheim.
Chima replaced another Nigerian forward Leke James with 15 minutes remaining before reducing the deficit in the second minute of stoppage time.

A division lower, åsane beat Tromsdalen 3-1 at Myrdal Gress (Ulset). Michael Ogungbaro was perfectly placed to give Asane the lead in the second minute after a corner.
A defensive midfielder by trade, the 22-year-old last found the net against FK Jerv in May prior to today's game.
In a five-goal thriller between Stroemmen and Ull/Kisa at Strømmen Stadion, winger Moses Ebiye finally scored his first professional goal for the home team in a 3-2 win.
He gave Stroemmen the lead with fifteen minutes played. Ebiye had to wait for 21 matches (18 for Lillestrom) before registering his first senior goal.
