Striker Shivnesh Sami marked his 21st birthday in spectacular fashion by scoring twice in Dreketi’s 2-0 victory over Nadogo in the first Senior Division semifinal of the 2024 FMF Inter District Championship at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
The match was fiercely contested, with both teams struggling to adapt to the wet and slippery pitch. After a scoreless first half, Dreketi took the lead thanks to Sami, who confidently maneuvered into the box and fired a powerful shot that left the goalkeeper helpless.
To make his birthday even more special, Sami added another goal just before the match ended.
Dreketi is set to face the winner of the second semifinal, which is currently taking place between Northland Tailevu and Rakiraki. The Senior Division final is scheduled for 10 am tomorrow.
