Winners:

After coming off the bench late in his first three games with Bayer Leverkusen, LANDON DONOVAN made his first start Sunday in a 2-0 win over Mainz, for which American Casey Conor played the final nine minutes. Donovan, who was replaced in the 75th minute, played the attacking midfield role usually manned by Brazilian Robson Ponte, who was suspended, and received decent ratings from the German press. Sixth-place Leverkusen trails leader Bayern Munich by five points.

American defender CORY GIBBS scored his first Dutch Eredivise goal since joining Feyenoord in January when he opened the scoring in Feyenoord's 7-0 win over Willem II with a header. Gibbs, who also assisted, was one of his team's two highest rated players by Voetbol International.

FULHAM, with Carlos Bocanegra playing 90 minutes in defense and Brian McBride remaining on the bench, downed Derby, 4-2, in overtime of their FA Cup, fourth-round replay, Bocanegra, who earned a 5 (out of 10) rating from The Sun, received his fourth yellow card in six games.

With BRAD FRIEDEL in goal, Blackburn ended a three-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Norwich and moved eight points above the relegation zone.

A 1-0 win over Oberhausen gives ENERGIE COTTBUS seven points from its four games since the winter break and pulls the team, which is captained by American GREGG BERHALTER, four points above the relegation zone.

Losers:

BORUSSIA MOENCHENGLADBACH lost its first game since Kasey Keller took over in goal. Keller, playing in his fourth Bundesliga match, was beaten from close range after a corner kick and on an unstoppable 14-yard shot. Gladbach, in 14th place, is eight points above the relegation zone.

Preston North End's EDDIE LEWIS, scorer of the USA's winning goal against Trinidad & Tobago on Wednesday, was ejected in Saturday's 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers after receiving two yellows for fouls.
