23 May @ Compassvale Secondary School 3pm
After a morale boosting opener in the first match and the subsequent walkover fiascos in the CFL 2 which saw Team Kamikaze being crowned League Champions without even having to kick a ball against El Calcio or Dboyz, the team got back to business at Compassvale Secondary to attempt to achieve a unique double of their own.
However, what were to face them were not just tough opponents in the form of Team Alkatraz, but more rather, dangerous opponents in all senses of the phrase. Right from the first whistle, tackles came in fast and furious against Team Kamikaze who now more than once have had to play against teams who engage in physical play to thwart the attacking play of the team. However, the brave warriors of KKZ drew first blood, when sensational new loan signing, Doctor scored a screamer from the edge of the penalty box. Doctor of Kawabanga and Eastboyz fame, had been a long-term transfer target for Kamikaze and this goal just showed glimpses of why.
His centre midfield partner of the day, USPO showed that besides being one of the best centre-backs around, he can be an awesome midfielder too, when he finished off a free flowing move after industrious running to be at the right place at the right time.
Though Kamikaze played without a regular keeper, they ensured they finished the half with the upper hand, with Havey getting into the scoresheet in style with a delightful first half hat-trick. His goals, all oozing class made sure that Alkatraz were shut out despite scoring 3 of their own, due to keeping errors. And the half ended 5-3.
The second half was a completely different story, as the motives of the teams had changed. Alkatraz were out to intimidate KKZ and attempt to break their legs in the process, KKZ had to protect themselves as well as attempt to play soccer. It was an interesting battle that Alkatraz seemed to have won, with the referee seemingly having forgotten his cards and whistle. In fact, it was to have been a fairytale ending for Alkatraz, as they pulled one goal back and almost scored another, if not for the heroics of JayRaj in goal.
However, it was wonderkid Safar who was to have the final word as he slammed in KKZ's 6th goal and the final goal in this 10-goal thriller. In the end, KKZ left with their heads up high, legs well intact and 3 points in the bag. Till we meet our dangerous opponents, who didnt seem to fully understand our team name.
