Budapest Celtic Panthers (Hun)

 

The second final of the day would see FC Radbroke versus Budapest Celtic Panthers. With seven games of football already under their belt the two teams would need to summon one last burst of energy to ensure they would be picking up winners and not runners-up medals in the presentation.

FC Radbroke were used to these pressure situations with Cup wins in the 2011 Prague Masters and 2013 Algarve Open. Was there room for the 2014 Budapest Fives Plate in their trophy cabinet? The Panthers were on debut but Budapest Celtic had experience at this level before – only two weeks ago the Tigers squad played in the 2014 Valencia Fives Plate Final. They finished Runners-Up – could the Panthers go one better?

FC Radbroke could well have a score to settle as it was the Budapest Celtic Tigers squad that prevented them qualifying for the Cup. Would the Panthers feel the backlash? Enough of the questions, let's look at how the game played out. An epic first half saw 4 goals with the teams level pegging at 2-2. Etienne Jouffret (5 for the tournament) and Bastien Morel (6 for the tournament) scored the goals for the Panthers. Mike Brandon scored both for FC Radbroke.

In the second half a penalty for FC Radbroke looked like giving them the chance to seal victory but fresh from his Semi-Final penalty shoot-out heroics Lazarescu saved Mike Brandon's spot kick to prevent his hat-trick. Mike Brandon would not have to wait too long to complete his personal achievement and bring with it glory for his team. He completed his hat-trick and with it sealed the Plate victory for FC Radbroke. He came into his own in the latter half of the tournament and finished on 7 goals for the tournament. The 2013 Algarve Open top goalscorer only narrowly missed out on the same accolade here in Budapest due to countback.

We offer our consolations to Budapest Celtic Panthers on a fine debut campaign. Our 2014 Budapest Fives Plate Winners though – FC Radbroke!
