A superb string of saves by El Gato, combined with some deadly shooting by Ruben were the hallmarks of a great Celtic 10-4 victory last Thursday night. Cardiac Arrest tried their best to pump some life into their game but every time they clawed their way back into the match Madison hit back with better and better goals. A much changed side took to the field without the striking invention of Carlos and Jorge. Luckily for the Celts they were replaced with the equally skillful Halil and Ruben who were both in sparkling form. With Dejan and Tom playing robustly in defence the Madison team had a very balanced and aggressive look to them. El Gato still had to be on his best "drug and coma " free form to make some great reaction saves. Although even he could not stop the blatant hand ball goal by "Celt on loan" player Tom "the Judge"! It was also worth noting the great form of the other on loan Celt, El Gogglito, in the Cardiac defence! The first half ended 3-3 but Madison were clearly the team on top. And after a few minutes of the second half the gap in quality between the teams really started to show. Some tough tackling and great vision by Dejan was setting up some good scoring opportunities and Ruben, Halil, Roniildo and Tom took full advantage with some great goals. Well before the end of the game Cardiac Arrest were a spent force and had lost the heart to fight any further.Another couple of goals near the end of the game clearly emphasised how strong a performance this was by Celtic!
Next Thursday's game starts at 8pm!
