Nadi has confirmed their spot in the final of the Extra Supermarket Inter-District Championship after a challenging semi-final match against the defending champions, Suva, where they suffered a 4-2 defeat. The match took place at the Vodafone Arena today, and it became clear early on that Nadi struggled to match Suva’s offensive prowess.
Suva took a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime, beginning the onslaught with an early goal from Krishneel Singh, who intercepted a pass and scored from near halfway. This set the tone for what turned out to be a tough match for Nadi, whose defensive lapses allowed Nikil Chand to score two goals, including one just before the halftime break.
Despite a chance to regroup at halftime, Nadi continued with their usual tactics in the second half, which proved detrimental. Suva capitalized on this, with Aman Naidu scoring their fourth goal midway through the half.
