A glut of goals as new Super League season kicks off with wins for Sacachispas and Futsal Escocia

Futsal Escocia (blue) celebrate against TJ Slovak Lads.

The Scottish Futsal Super League 2023/24 kicked off with a glut of goals in Edinburgh.

There were victories for Sacachispas and Futsal Escocia with the smaller court at Oriam bringing plenty of goalmouth action.

Thirty-eight goals flew in across the two games with new boys Escocia racking up a big victory over TJ Slovak Lads while Sacachispas got the better of Edinburgh rivals Galacticos.

Sacachispas 14-6 Galacticos

The first match of the season brought a first goal after just four minutes with Cesar Coria Ramon weaving through the Galacticos defence to make it 1-0.

Guillermo Martin made it 1-1 three minutes later before it was 2-2 after eight minutes and then 3-3 on 13.

A flurry at the end of the first half put Sacachispas in control as they opened up a 7-3 lead with Sorlei on a hat-trick.

He would add a fourth after the break while Monta Madjid would net his own treble for Galacticos.

However, there was no catching their opponents with Sacachispas recording an impressive 14-6 victory.

Futsal Escocia 16-2 TJ Slovak Lads

That was outdone, however, by Futsal Escocia in the second game of the night.

A new side in the Super League after joining forces with FC Edina, Escocia showed their quality against last season’s seventh-placed outfit Slovak Lads.

The match was goal-less for the opening seven minutes with both sides sizing each other up.

A flurry of goals, though, put Escocia in control with Adam Prior, Caleb Holness, Chris Donnelly and Leon Keddie scoring four goals in three minutes.

And by half-time it was already 10-1.

Slovak Lads stemmed the flow of goals in the first 10 minutes of the second period with Martin Janik getting a goal back for 11-2.

But Escocia weren’t finished and added a further five goals with Holness finishing on four while Prior and Cameron Taylor each netted a hat-trick.

All four sides are back in action next Sunday with the rest of the division getting their campaigns under way with matches in both Edinburgh and Perth.
