Nadi’s performance was far from their best as they faced Suva in the semi-finals of the Extra Supermarket Inter-District Championship at the Vodafone Arena, ultimately losing 4-2. The defending champions, Suva, will advance to the finals against Lautoka.
From the outset, Suva showcased their dominance, quickly establishing a 3-0 lead by halftime. The competition saw an impressive interception and long-range goal by Krishneel Singh, setting the tone for what would prove to be a challenging evening for Nadi. Suva’s Nikil Chand took advantage of Nadi’s defensive lapses, netting two goals, including a pivotal strike just before the break.
Despite halftime adjustments being crucial, Nadi continued with their original strategy in the second half, which cost them further as Suva extended their lead to 4-0 with a goal from Aman Naidu. Nadi managed to score twice through Mohammed Ayman, but it was a case of too little, too late.
The final now awaits, where Suva will take on Lautoka, with fans anticipating an exciting matchup between the two cities.
Overall, while Nadi faced disappointment in this semi-final, the pathway ahead offers opportunities for improvement and redemption in future tournaments. The final provides Suva an excellent chance to demonstrate their strength and aim for another title.
