The Auckland City soccer team is a bit relieved that stylish midfielder Malakai Tiwa will not play against them in the OFC Champions league semi-final on Sunday.

Speaking to Legend FM Sports from Auckland, coach, Ramon Tribulietx said Tiwa who is suspended for a match is really good at manning the midfield area.

However, Tribulietx said Ba has other capable players who can take up the role.


Sanni Issa has scored nine goals so far in the group stages of the OFC Champions league and is the highest goal scorer.

The Ba and Auckland City first leg semi-final will be played at 3pm this Sunday in Auckland and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station, Radio Sargam with our radio partners in NZ, Humm FM.
