The Ba Soccer team faces a mammoth task of qualifying to the semifinal tomorrow as they take on Savusavu in a must win match this afternoon.
Captain Tuimasi Manuca said the team will need to improve on their performance despite the 3-nil over Nadi yesterday.
Looking at Pool 2, Ba has four points and a plus 2 goal difference. If Savusavu beats Ba, then it will come down to the goal difference as Rewa also has four points and a minus 2 goals difference.
The mathematics will have to be worked after the Ba and Savusavu match as how many goals Rewa will need to score against Nadi to improve its goal difference.
As it stands, Rewa is four goals behind Ba. If Rewa is unable to beat Nadi and unable to meet the required goal difference in the match against Nadi, then Ba will qualify for the semis from Pool2.
Meanwhile, In Pool 1, Lautoka just needs a draw against Tavua to qualify for the semis but if this does not happen then Labasa will also have the chance to qualify for the semis if they beat Nadroga.
The two other teams that will qualify for the semi-finals will be decided today.
Meanwhile, Suva has just beaten Savusavu 2-1 a while ago.
In 15 minutes time Navua will play Tavua, at 4.30pm Ba takes on Savusavu, Tavua will face Lautoka at 5.45pm, at 7pm Nadroga will face Labasa and at 8.15pm Rewa will play Nadi.
