Capitalizing on opportunities will once again be key for Extra Bula FC as they prepare to face Tahiti United this afternoon at 5:30 PM at the Santos National Stadium in Port Moresby. The team showcased significant improvement in their attacking play during a recent 1-1 draw against South Melbourne FC, although they struggled to convert several scoring chances that prevented them from securing their second win of the season.
Striker Christopher Wasasala, who netted the equalizer in the match against South Melbourne, expressed his disappointment regarding the missed opportunities and emphasized the team’s desire for redemption against Tahiti United today. “Really disappointed missing those opportunities, the boys have really put in the hard work,” he remarked. “I know we will go back, learn from our mistakes and come back stronger this Sunday.”
Head coach Stephane Auvray highlighted the importance of emotional control as a critical skill for players to thrive in their professional football careers. This aspect was particularly evident during their last match, as emotions ran high following their attacking breakthroughs and subsequent missed chances. Auvray emphasized that managing these emotions is essential for flawless execution on the field, noting that it is a learning process for his players in this competitive environment.
Despite being ranked lower in the competition, Auvray is mindful not to underestimate Tahiti United. He believes that with the talent present in his squad, Bula FC is prepared to bring their A-game to the match. If Bula FC can maintain their attacking momentum and stay focused, fans can anticipate an exciting encounter this afternoon as they seek to clinch a victory in their final match of the second round.
