Chapi encountered a tough El Escorial side on a warm February afternoon in the Madrid Sierra. Going 1-
0 down 20 minutes into the first half, a spectacular solo goal from baby-face Robert evened things up and was quickly followed by an Arthur strike to take Chapi into the break 2-1 up.

El Davo, having picked up a twisted knee, continued on and vented his discomfort in a number of crunching tackles on opposing forwards. A tough and combative seco
nd half saw El Escorial level only for Arthur to strike again. Two further goals from the hosts resulting from defensive mixups looked like ending Chapi's long unbeaten run. However, a re-energised Arthur equalised with minutes to go and still had time to miss a sitter in the dying moments. So, a 4-4 draw and probably a fair result.

A rather better result than the 5-1 defeat the OP's suffered at the hands - or feet - of The Norsemen. We were 1 -0 up at one point too! A fateful position for the OP's...
