MATCH REPORT; East Haven 0 Madison 2

Madison kept in the hunt for promotion with a big away win against East Haven as their closest rivals, Guilford, fell to defeat at home to the Albanian Eagles. With Madison entering a double header weekend next Saturday with a game against Morelia followed with a potentially promotion deciding game against Guilford on the Sunday, the final stages of the league race are really coming to the boil! But first, what happened at this weekend's game against East Haven, reportage is from... Tano, and Pics from..... TomA!

Under East Haven is an Infernal Field!

As I woke on the Sunday morning I was mesmerized by the thought of having a game on a Nike turf field, but sadly the dream was shattered...... we ended up in the pigpen field. Anyway, we are used to that and we had a strong team so maybe Nike field some other day...

As for the game, Madison controlled the whole match and East Haven managed only one chance when the greasy ball almost ended up in the net. Our first goal was one of those open mouth, wow! goals for many watching because Carlos went on a run all the way from his defensive position and passed to Halil like Iniesta, Roniildo opened up the field like Xavi to Alvez, and Fribeka finished it like ??? well you can imagine! The goal was like a long, cool glass of water during a long speech! Madison continued to control the game but that didn't mean they were playing well. Sure, we had less mistakes than our opponent, lots of offsides calls, balls being lost at the throw ins, poor passing and I can go on and on. Now, if this is boring to read imagine how it felt watching or playing in it! Finally the first half was over and we deserved our lead. In the second half we had to attack on the worst side of the field and at one point I felt like i was making wine as i trampled through the messy field or I was back in the Air force training camp where cows and horses get to do a lot of #2. So nothing exciting was happening until Roniildo tried to be smart by standing still in the infernal pigpen and kicking at the same time. He ended up hitting a slow motion shot straight at a defender but that one innocent, deaf defender didn't hear his goalkeeper shout and he headed it right to the side of his own net. That mistake made East Haven fall to East Haven Hell. More chances came but no more goals we also had bit of our own mistakes to try to cover as we chased another goal and left the defensive line weak. Thank Maradona that we didn't have the Albanians in front of us otherwise we probably end the game in a tie again.


Salut!


Man of the Match; Good performances by Fribeka, Carlos, Chris, Roniildo. This reporter thought the MOM for excellent finishing should be Fribeka and others Carlos so this week they share!!
