Nadi and Labasa played to a thrilling 2-2 draw in their Premier League clash at Subrail Park. The host team, Labasa, was notably undermanned, missing eight of their regular players. This provided Nadi a potential advantage, which they initially capitalized on with goals from Aron Naicker and Nilkash Prasad. However, Labasa demonstrated resilience, staging a comeback in the second half with goals from Melvin Mani and Eparama Moraica to bring the match level.
Despite their efforts, Nadi could not sustain their early lead, showcasing Labasa’s tenacity and the team’s ability to adapt under pressure. This result is one of several close encounters between the two teams this season, highlighting the competitive nature of the league.
Labasa’s previous matches, including draws and narrow defeats, illustrate the challenges they face in climbing the standings. Nonetheless, their capacity to compete despite personnel shortages speaks volumes about their depth and determination.
