In a closely watched match, Ba FC faced a 2-0 defeat against Lautoka, which has sparked controversy due to a disallowed goal that could have altered the outcome of the game. Ba’s team director, Yunus Khalik, expressed his disappointment over the officiating, particularly with Faazil Ali’s disallowed goal early in the match. Khalik noted that this incident marks the second time in as many days that his team has suffered from contentious decisions, referring to a penalty not awarded in the prior match against Rewa.
Khalik is now calling for a review of these recent officiating decisions to ensure fairness in future matches. The game initially remained scoreless at halftime, but Lautoka gained the upper hand in the second half. Captain Saula Waqa broke the deadlock and scored the first goal, skillfully evading Ba’s defense during a counterattack. Lautoka then secured their win with a second goal from Simione Nabenu, who capitalized on a corner kick.
This recent loss follows a series of disappointing results for Ba FC, including a previous match where they succumbed to Lautoka with a score of 4-2. Observers may note that the team has been vulnerable to contentious officiating and has struggled to convert opportunities into goals consistently.
Despite these challenges, there is potential for Ba FC to regroup and refocus in the upcoming matches, emphasizing the need for resilience and teamwork to overcome the negativity associated with the recent defeats. With continued effort, the team may find a way to bounce back and rise in the league standings. The passion of both the players and the fans remains a vital source of support as they work through this tough period.
