Following the emotional day of his grandfather’s funeral, Nabil Begg made a poignant return to the pitch for Ba FC in their Extra Premier League match against Rewa FC. Unfortunately for Ba, their efforts were thwarted as Rewa snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory with a stunning goal in the dying minutes of the match at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
Ba started the match with promise, with France Catarogo finding the back of the net just before halftime, fueling hopes for a lifting victory. However, their lead was short-lived as Rewa’s Patrick Joseph leveled the score in the second half, setting the stage for an intense finish. Tensions rose when Ba’s goalkeeper, Misiwani Nairube, showcased his skills by saving a penalty attempt from Rewa. Despite that valiant effort, Rewa’s Josaia Sela managed to secure the win with a decisive goal in the 86th minute.
This match follows Rewa FC’s recent successful run in the league, having secured a 3-1 victory over Ba just a week prior in a different competition. The Delta Tigers have demonstrated a resilient form, bouncing back after an earlier defeat by Ba in the same league, showcasing their growth as a competitive side.
Looking ahead, Ba FC, under the guidance of their coach Timoci Seru, needs to reflect on their missed opportunities to improve their performance in upcoming matches. The team showed potential, and the defeat, while disappointing, may serve as motivation for future encounters.
Fans can remain hopeful, as this spirited display, despite the unfavorable result, indicates promise for Ba FC’s season. With determination to overcome challenges and capitalize on the lessons learned, they can look forward to improvement in the games to come.
