A cooly taken volley in the penalty box was exactly what the team needed. Second goal came in 13 mins from time. A wonderful cross saw matthew literally push the ball into the net.

With literally 2 mins left in time, the hero to grab Kamikaze the 3 important points was Dinesh. After a mix-up between the Zhenghua Knights defence, Dinesh collected the ball controlled with and blasted it into the top. The keeper was shell shocked, Zhenghua Knights were shell shocked.

Name : Ganesh

Ganesh, 27 is a goalkeeper who currently plays for Kamikaze. Known for his one-on-ones, and commandment of area, he in hand with akbar proved pivotal in kamikaze's 2009/2010 season. While akbar was used in the champions cup ties, Ganesh was used primarily as a first choice goalkeeper for kamikaze in the cfl league. Often sporting a bright orange top with huge gloves, he often gets into the "schmeichel" pose before the game, often so imitating his idol.

Ganesh first started his career with Jurong FC and through that , got to know a lot of teams. As his position is a rarity and furthermore combined with his skill as a goalkeeper, many teams raced for his signature. He finally opted to sign for Team Vasantham, a team filled with his friends/colleagues. He spent a good few years at the club before kamikaze manager haresh and scout victor vicky attended one of his games at serangoon stadium. Upon watching him play, both of them simultaneously decided that he is an asset to kamikaze, whom were goalkeeper starved at that time. Although a formal enquiry was made, Team Vasantham accepted and let ganesh join kamikaze in early 2009.

It proved to be an awesome buy as ganesh blended in well with the team, quickly making friends and enjoying his training. With the goalkeeper position fortified in both competitions, kamikaze then went on to win both of them. A fun and jovial guy with a lot of friends base, Ganesh is well respected and also applauded for his goalkeeping antics for the club. His overall performance for the team marks him down as one of the greatest to ever wear the no.1 jersey.

Ganesh currently resides in the east with his newly married wife Vani. Kamikaze wishes them a happy married life in the years ahead and assures fans that they will definitely get to see more of ganesh in the coming season.
