The excellent goalscoring form of Australians around the globe continued over the weekend, as a number of players come towards the end of their seasons.

In the United Arab Emirates, Alex Brosque and Lucas Neill faced off in what turned out to be a one-sided clash.

Brosque's Al Ain side won 5-0 over Neill's Al Wasl, which sees the former move to second. Brosque managed to score in the match while Neill played the full 90 minutes.

Also in the UAE, Richard Porta netted his seventh goal in six games for Dubai as they drew 1-1 with Al Ahli on Saturday.

In another all-Australian clash, Matt McKay’s Busan I'Park went down 3-0 to Alex Wilkinson’s Jeonbuk Motors in Korea on Sunday.

Both players managed 90 minutes on the park in the clash and the win leaves Jeonbuk second on the table.

In England, Scott McDonald continued his scoring form or Middlesbrough as they defeated Charlton 4-1.

McDonald was in the starting side for the match and looks set to stay there if he continues to make the most of his chances.

Elsewhere in Europe, Carl Valeri was on the scoresheet for Sassuolo in their 3-1 win against Ternana on Tuesday.

GOOD WEEK/BAD WEEK

GOOD - RICHARD PORTA In his eight appearances with Dubai, Porta has scored eight goals to make him one of the most valuable players in the league. After an unsuccessful stint at Al Wasl last season, Porta seems to have found the right club for him in the UAE as his goal scoring is as hot as the Dubai sun.  BAD - NEIL KILKENNY Kilkenny is playing for one of the worst sides in the English Championship, and is only being used as a substitute. The 1-0 loss to Huddersfield Town on Saturday was their fifth in a row and Kilkenny could be in for a season of pain at City.

Serie B

Carl Valeri (Sassuolo) – An eventful game for Valeri saw him receive a yellow card and score in the 3-1 win over Ternana on Tuesday. 

Japan

No games in the J-League this weekend mean Josh Kennedy and Jade North will hope to play on Wednesday.

Eddy Bosnar (Suwon Bluewings) – The Bluewings drew 1-1 with Seoul on Sunday and Bosnar played a full match in defence. The draw leaves them third.
