Kamikaze Seniors Get Off To A Flying Start

X-League Sunday Prime League Season 1 Division 2

Team Kamikaze vs Ginga FC @ Greenridge Secondary

The first game jitters never materialised as Kamikaze Seniors took on Ginga FC in their opening league match encounter. Kamikaze dominated from start to finish as they banged 13 goals past their young opponents in a ruthless encounter to win the match 13-1.

Kamikaze started gutsy from the word go and could have gone up within the first 5 minutes, but for a lack of finishing. However, the goal did eventually come in style as Pratheep Muse cut past 3 defenders before unleashing a perfect finish that the keeper had no chance of saving. The floodgates opened, as Victor, Jayraj and Aravin Yeli made it 4-0 to go into the half-time.

Within minutes of the restart, Ginga pulled one back and gave themselves some hope. But that goal only served to give KKZ the impetus they needed as a flurry of goals came through the other end. Siva notched his hat-trick, while Yeli went one better by bringing his total game goal tally to 4. Victor bagged his brace, with Anand Spaceship and USPO Suresh also getting in on the act with cool finishes. There were many contenders for goal of the week, but Suresh's goal after an excellent throughball from Haresh, and Yeli's superb individual effort at the end won the plaudits from the KKZ faithful.

Overall it was a satisfying performance from Kamikaze, however the constant offsides proved to be of some concern to Manager Seelan. But in a typically combative mode, he dismissed any suggestions that the strikers department were of concern to him. "We scored 13, and my strikers got 5 of that haul, and you are asking me whether they need to improve? You must be kidding me!"

Kamikaze have started this league in an exciting manner and now look forward to their next match with a spring in the step. Captain Suresh, however put things into perspective when he said, "There is no need to put any extra pressure on ourselves. Prior to the start of the league, we aimed for a top-3 finish, and nothing has changed with this game."
