CFL 3 - Round 2

15 Aug @ Macpherson Secondary School 5pm

Kamikaze FC struggled to an 1-0 win in their opening match while their opponents for the day, Little Flower opened their league account with a 5-1 win. Adding to that, was the continued loss of key personnel with first choice keeper Akbar and Yasin )Fasting joining the ranks of USPO (Work), Barathi (Exam) and Havey (Injured). While lesser teams, might have been rattled by such depletion, KKZ is a team that has worked hard on its depth. And nothing emphasised it more by the appearance of Master Keeper Ganesh Vivace acting as custodian of the posts.

Kamikaze started the match right where they left off, creating numerous chances within the first 10 minutes. And it was just a matter of time, before they got a break, and it came from the legs of winged wonder Diego Haresh. After doing well to beat the defender inside the box, and forcing him to concede a penalty for handball, Haresh himself stepped up to take the penalty. Taking over penalty duties for this season, Haresh showed nothing has changed as he coolly stroked the ball into the net to give KKZ the lead. And he soon doubled it, with another brilliant volley from just inside the penalty box. With the opponents down to 10 men, for abuse of Referee, KKZ ran riot against them. Victor was the next to get onto the scoreline, with a sublime half-volley after an excellent chipped pass by El Fazail. 3-0 was how it stood as the teams headed into half time.

The second half, saw Little Flower playing with intent as they pulled one back. But Kamikaze showed composure as they did what they did best: Attack. Safar scored two identical goals, as a training ground routine saw him beat the offside trap in the same manner, to clinch his hat-trick after he had struck early to cancel out Little Flower's first goal. His two identical goals, both assisted by Jraj, sandwiched another Little Flower goal, as this match proved to be a goal glut. Haresh was not to be denied his hat-trick either as he got into the act also with his 3rd goal.

7-2 was how it ended. A comprehensive victory for Kamikaze. One that would have boosted their morale for their upcoming big match, against hotshot title rivals: Mexican Aces. With this performance, KKZ seem to only have three words for their rivals. We are Waiting.
