Match Report By Pratip Kumar
With the team experimenting a new formation, Kamikaze overwhelmed their opponents with a resounding 5-0 victory. But once again it was a tale of two halves as all 5 goals came in the first period of play.
Boasting a squad of 16 players, the team had enough depth and wanted to prove a point after some lacklustre displays in the previous weeks.
From the start of the match, the Youths, displayed slick passing in all areas of the pitch. Having made a conscious decision to cut out the long balls, there was good passing and off the ball movement. With Shivaanan and Hasiim dominating the the midfield, the first goal came after a run of good passing. Nick sprinted down the left flank before getting the better of two defenders and squared the ball back to the returning Prabhu who finished it with calm and ease. Not long later, Hasiim took a rocket of a shot which hit the inside of the crossbar on the way to the net. The third goal also followed in a similar fashion of the first one with slick passing. Jo was the provider this time as he played a through-ball with which Vishnu made no mistake.
Vinnie, scored arguably the goal of the match as he capped off a fine Kamikaze move that saw 11 uninterrupted passes made before Vinnie scored with a neat finish. Vinnie then returned the favour for Haji, with a cheeky backheel to Haji who caught the keeper offguard and swung in a lobbed shot.
Despite the excitement of the first half, the second half was a dour affair. Though the team did well to ensure that no goals were conceded, there wasn't much attacking penetration. However, after the dismal result in the previous game, the team would gladly take the 5-0 result.
In his post-match conference, the gaffer laid down the gauntlet to his charges,
"Is it possible to continue this run for the next 4 matches? Can we ensure that we continue the good things of this match and eliminate the bad ones? Can we make the right decisions for every match?"
Watch this space!
Everyone at Kamikaze Youths would like to take this opportunity to wish the Kamikaze Family a Happy Deepavali celebration.
