Champions Cup - Grp Stage 4th Match

In the last group match, Kamikaze had to win by atleast a 5 goal margin to have any hopes of topping the group and avoiding Tournament favourites and footballing giants Outsiders FC in the semi-finals. The intent was clear on the KKZ side, as they stormed to a 2-0 lead within 20 mins, with Yasin and Victor getting onto the score sheet. However, their recent problems in dealing with set -pieces once again reared its ugly head as they conceded one off a corner that saw their lead being cut going into half-time.

The second proved be to be a different story, as despite Pending Utd attacking non-stop, KKZ played with more attacking intelligence and caught them cold on the counter attacks. Yasin doubled his tally, after good work from Safar, who later scored one of his own, before El Fazail finished off the rout in a spectacular fashion by chipping the keeper from 20 yards out. And that was how the match ended, 5-1 to KKZ. However, the 'lack of goals' meant that KKZ ended up being second in the group and had a date fixed with giants Outsiders in the semis. Will the goliath be slayed, or will david end up being a meat patty? Watch this space..
