SUVA BRACES FOR TOUGH BA SEMI-FINAL

GLOBAL Care Suva FC will be aiming to continue its impressive Extra Battle of the Giants campaign when it faces host Dayals Steel Ba FC in the first semi-final this Saturday.

The Capital City side qualified as Group A winner after recording two wins from its three pool matches at Four R Stadium at Govind Park in Ba.

Suva opened its campaign with a 3–1 victory over Blue Gas Navua FC before producing a commanding performance to defeat defending champion Extra Supermarket Labasa FC 3–0.

Despite suffering a 2–1 loss to Nasinu FC in its final pool match, Suva had already done enough to secure top spot in the group.

Under coach Pita Rabo, the Whites have displayed confidence in attack, scoring seven goals during the pool stage.

However, they will expect a much tougher challenge from a Ba side that will enjoy strong support from its home crowd.

Ba finished second in Group B after recording victories over Tagimoucia Nadi FC and Khelvin Realtors Lautoka FC. Its only defeat came against group winner Stratum/PPCL Rewa FC.

The Men in Black will also enter the semi-final carrying confidence from their 3–1 victory over Lautoka in their final pool match.

Suva has won the BOG title three times and will be determined to move one step closer to adding another crown to its collection.

The first semi-final between Global Care Suva FC and Dayal’s Steel Ba FC will kick off at 2pm this Saturday at Four R Stadium at Govind Park in Ba.

NASINU STUN SUVA, LABASA NOW NEED FOUR-GOAL WIN

Nasinu FC has thrown Group A of the Extra Battle of the Giants wide open after stunning Global Care Suva FC 2-1 at Four R Stadium at Govind Park in Ba today.

Paul Francis put Nasinu ahead in the 18th minute before Gagame Feni responded for Suva just three minutes later to make it 1-1.

The win moved Nasinu to six points alongside Suva, but the Capital City side remains ahead on goal difference.

Attention now turns to the final Group A encounter between Extra Supermarket Labasa FC and Blue Gas Navua FC at 3.30pm.
