Captain saves us from the Celts!

By: Javier | September 30th, 2008

Marcos Senna. The man of the match easily, well, tied, along side with Celtics keeper. Saving 7 of our 8 shots at goal. Not exactly the goal fest I expected after this game ended, especially with all those damn shots we had =/. Still, we won the match. The captain’s ~25m freekick bullet provided us with the goal to keep our winning streak going.

I honestly did expect a little more from Celtic with their chances they had on goal. I personally was surprised on how we handled them in the first half. We controlled, we defended, and we succeeded.

After a days worth of football I only wish the best for the Scots and hope they do well in the SPL. This Saturday were taking on Real Betis, who resides in 18th place. The real scare is the week after, where we will be facing Espanol *shudders*. Until that day comes though, we will stay comfy in the first/second place spot in La Liga!

  I was about to say. Rossi was on this pitch until the ~75th minute of play. Ibagaza went in, Rossi out.
