CFL 2 - Round 6

24 Jan 2010 @ St Wilfrd Sports Complex

The team returned to hunting-ground St Wilfrid after a very long absence, with the pain of last week's defeat still firmly in their minds. The return of Suresh USPO, after a very long time, seemed to bring some smiles into the faces of the Kamikaze warriors, but they still knew they had a task at hand.

The first half, saw KKZ totally dominate proceedings with good passing all around the pitch, and great attacking chances created. The team made its dominance count, as Lavanesh Valencia glanced in a header off a Hariboy cross to make the score 1-0. Soon after, El Fazail and Diego Haresh played a mouth-watering series of passes, to replicate Barca, and Fazail applied the finishing touch by curling the ball into the top left hand corner from the edge of the penalty box. Mohawk Vicky got into the act too in his trademark fashion by firing in a fierce shot that gave the keeper no chance, after some really good work by Havey. Havey had been a constant threat the whole half, somewhat redeeming himself after last week's performance.

2nd half, saw a trademark collapse by the team, with the usual kancheongness and ill-discipline kicking in. However, Hari scored a wonder goal and Jayraj scored the rebound after Victor King saw his indifferent form continue by missing a penalty amongst various other chances.
In the end, KKZ nicked the match 5-3.

While they shouldn't have been in the tense situation they got themselves into, the win was satisfying for the team as it saw them climb back into 2nd place with two games in hand. More expected from the team, after a possible 2 week break.

KAMIKAZE!!

PS: Welcome back USPO! And while it was tight competition between Havey and Dinzo for the man of the match award. Dinzo, playing in his final game before NS wins it, with a flawless performance throughout the match. Havey, however is lauded by the management for his good attitude, and the same intensity is asked for every single match henceforth.
