Bula FC secured their first victory in the OFC Pro League with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Solomon Kings, a result that means more than just points for striker Kyle Auvray. Playing in the challenging environment of Port Moresby, Auvray was named Player of the Match for his relentless efforts on the pitch.
“I think the most important thing is that we won the game. I don’t think it was our best performance, but I loved the resilience, and we showed discipline and great camaraderie. It was great,” Auvray stated, highlighting the team’s determination and teamwork.
This victory comes after a draw and a loss in their initial matches, marking a significant progression for Bula FC. Auvray emphasized the importance of the character displayed by the squad, which will be crucial as the tournament unfolds.
Adapting to the weather conditions in Papua New Guinea has proven challenging for many players, yet the Trinidadian forward found familiarity in the heat and humidity. “It’s nothing new for me. I grew up in the Midwest, so it was really hard. I also played in Jamaica. I’m Trinidadian, so I’m alright,” he remarked confidently.
Looking ahead, Bula FC will face Tahiti United this Sunday, with fans able to watch the match live on FBC 2. This upcoming game presents another opportunity for the team to build momentum and continue their positive trajectory in the league.
