But the visitors fought back to equalise through a well-taken goal by Amena Bola in the 80th minute

as Lautoka goalkeeper Beniamino Mateinaqara was caught napping. Comments: Ba manager Arvind Singh said: “We’ve a lot of young players who we are giving them game time.

“It will take time and surely we will be back to where we should be. Lautoka was a better team today.” Lautoka coach Kamal Swamy said:

“Today we used a couple of new players as some of our senior players were not available.
