Rewa’s John Orobulu opened the score line for his side after scoring two impressive goals in the 12th and 31st minute.

Nine minutes later, teammate Samu Kautoga booted in his first of the match, before finding his second goal just before halftime.

Ba came out refreshed in the second spell, as they slowly maintained their position in Rewa’s half for the first ten minutes.

Rewa scored their final goal in the 66th minute when Epeli Valevou struck a cross kick from the left side of the field, giving Ba’s keeper Atunaisa Naucukidi time to make a save.

The Rodicks Singh-coached side shifted their focus to their defenses in the last 20 minutes of the game, where they denied Ba of any points until the final hooter.
