BUDAPEST CELTIC EDGE OUT DINAMO TORPEDO IN FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON
The Expat Budapest Football League 2009/10 season is officially over after the final A Liga game between the Champions, Budapest Celtic and Dinamo Torpedo finished in dramatic style despite the game being played at slower pace because of the Hungarian summer's arrival at last. The match was played in scorching heat and both teams struggled to adapt to the sudden rise of temperature in Budapest. Celtic went ahead thanks to a Leo Kronberger goal from an acute angle, but went in level after Torpedo equalised through a stunning 18 yard drive.
The game was petering out to a draw despite both managers changing their personnel in an attempt to get the fresh legs to try and nab a winner. It looked as though the teams would settle for a point as they did in the first game of the season, but Celtic's Yoshi Ikeda had different idea's when he surged forward in the final minute and squared the ball for Jasper Zebner to score the winner.
It means that Celtic have won the league by an impressive 7 points whilst Dinamo who mathematically could have taken 3rd spot finished in 6th position.
