Nadi’s football team achieved a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Suva in a thrilling Digicel Premier League match at Ratu Cakobau Park on Sunday. Under the leadership of interim coach Viroon Karan, Nadi displayed both determination and resilience to secure three crucial points.
Karan commended his team’s performance but also recognized the need for improvement. “Overall, the performance was good, and we got a positive result. We aimed to win this game and had a plan in place. Credit to the boys for their great effort,” he stated.
Reflecting on the game, Karan highlighted opportunities the team missed. “In the finishing stages, we need to convert our chances into goals. Although we achieved the victory, we could have scored a few more but squandered some opportunities.”
This win was a significant milestone for Nadi in a season characterized by ups and downs, with Karan emphasizing consistency as essential for maintaining their form. “Next year, we will focus on being more consistent in our performances and securing wins. We must not be inconsistent.”
As the league season approaches its conclusion, Nadi is now setting its sights on the prestigious Inter District Championship (IDC) scheduled to begin in two weeks. Preparations are already in progress as Karan and his team concentrate on this important tournament.
Despite their varying performances this season, Nadi is ready to make an impact in the IDC and aims to end the year on a high note.
