MATCH REPORT; Madison 1 New Haven 2

Although the Celts lost another game against the New Haven Americans this was a much better performance overall. The Celts started really well with new signing Mike playing well upfront and lots of good movement from the midfield. After 25 minutes the Celts had dominated the game, had  a few chances to take the lead and handed defended well. But, without that go ahead goal the Celts were always going to be prone to the counter attack. And with only ten minutes left in the half a concerted attack by New Haven resulted in a shot being taken from outside the box that took a significant deflection on the way. It  was enough to wrong foot Dustin and the visitors had the lead. The second half saw New Haven have more of the ball but the Celts were still in the game and a strong persistent run by Tano resulted in him notching up the equalizer. The Celts had chances to take the lead but in the end a well worked free kick and powerful shot by New Haven Americans won the game for them.

Man of the Match;  Some good performances by the defense that blunted the New Haven attack for most of the game. The midfield also moved the ball around well and Tano had a well taken goal. But man of the match goes to debut bhoy Mike!
