The Ba soccer team will be without its two top midfielders, Malakai Tiwa and Laisenia Raura, in the OFC Champions League semifinal against Auckland City this Saturday.

This is a big blow for the Men-in-Black.

Tiwa and Raura will miss the first leg due to suspension as they are carrying two yellow cards each to their names.

Tiwa is occupying one of the most vital positions in the team and his skills and caliber will be hard to replace in this crucial encounter.

The Ba and Auckland City match kicks off 3pm this Saturday in Auckland.

Ba will host the second leg at Govind Park next Saturday.
