The Vodafone Ba soccer team suffered its first National Soccer League loss this season, going down 2-3 to Lautoka last night.

The Men In Black led 2-1 at the halftime with a brace of goals from Tui Masi Manuca but their defence let them down as Lautoka's Josua Wilson, Alvin Avinesh and Salesh Sami Bula took full advantage of their weak defence to give Lautoka the much-needed win.

Lautoka now sit on top of the points standing with 18 points and have Viva Rewa to play in their final match next month.

But Ba still can qualify for the O-League because they have 5 games in hand and must win all those games.
