Kamikaze gained the 3rd win of their campaign to extend their good run of form with a hard fought victory. While the final scoreline seems rather comfortable, it belied the nature of the game with full credits due to a hard-fighting Outlander Smurfs FC.

Kamikaze found themselves a goal down 3 times in the first-half but the age-old tenacity seems to have returned to this new-look squad as they equalised every single-time to go into the half-time break level on scores. The huge let-off spread a positive mindset within the team as they were determined to make the best of their good fortune. Hevy and Safar showed signs of once again reigniting their dangerous partnership as they ripped apart the Outlander Smurfs backline which had stood firm till then in a blitz of 20 minutes.

It was a total team effort as the backline of Prem and Jeffrey combined well with their keeper Vishnu, setting the tone for a future defensive rock. They were well-supported by the likes of Pira and the midfield trio of Viki, Doctor and Riswan. Captain Hara, who had a forgettable first-half recovered to put in another sterling midfield performance in the second-half to cement credentials. Even Young Boy, Vishnu had a goal to cap an effective cameo performance. However, the star performer of the day was definitely young starlet Sasi, who kept asking questions of the Outlander Smurfs' defence and kept them on their backfoot with dazzling runs in a tireless performance.

Manager of the Day Victor kept the result in perspective. "It is our 3rd consecutive win, but it is not a 3rd convincing win. We made quite a few mistakes. But i'd take this win as a testament of our never-say-die spirit. We have to improve if we want to take on the big boys. Right now, a number of our players are still suffering the scars of last season's traumatising results. But I'm confident the boys will rise up to this new challenge. We will redeem ourselves and target a podium-finish."
