CFL 2 - Round 3

3 Jan 2010 @ Fuchun Secondary School

Kamikaze travelled down to Fuchun Secondary school with confidence in high form to face defending champions Galaticos in what was billed as the battle of the two most feared teams in the league. The game lived up to its billing in what was an highly exciting battle between two fiercely determined teams.

Galaticos drew the first blood though scoring twice with barely half an hour having passed in the clock. However, Kamikaze's fighting spirit showed, with them pushing on in numbers, and the efforts paid off when Diego Haresh was fouled inside the box. Victor King stepped up to take the penalty and tucked it neatly into the goal. That was how the half ended with KKZ trailing by one.

The second half saw KKZ piling on the pressure and once again, a fluent attacking movement saw Safar beat two defenders only to be fouled inside the box. Once again, up stepped Victor King to beat the keeper and tie the game at 2 a piece.

But more drama was to come, as a loose ball fell into the legs of Galatico's star player Oswind who unleashed a shot so venomous that it gave the keeper no chance. With less than 7 mins to go, Galaticos looked to have sealed the victory against their title rivals.

But as always, the footballing gods have other ideas, as a determined KKZ unit unleashed a flurry of attacks inside the Galaticos' camp. One such attack saw the ball reach Yasin whose shot was toepoked into the net by Safar. With 3 mins to go, this match was set to have an explosive ending. And it sure did arrive, with KKZ hitting the post 3 times in less than 3 times, but the winning goal proved elusive to them. 3-3 was how it ended.

While many in the league might have been happy with this result which saw both teams drop points, it only meant one thing for those associated with Kamikaze. This year, we are gonna be that much more harder to beat. And mark this editor's words. There is gonna be a new champion in this year's CFL. I hope the KKZ players have the tenacity, to decide the name of the new champions.
