The Timoci Jim Seru-coached side didn’t wait to respond Nabil Begg scoring a penalty kick just after minutes.

The match was an intense physical battle, with Ba playing with all their heart to challenge the in-form Delta Tigers, who didn’t ease up despite already being the first team to qualify from Pool B.

Rewa has topped the pool with 7 points while the Nadi jet setters are the runner-ups with 4 points.
