“We are just fighting one game at a time because we are not taking any game lightly. We know the players are going for semifinals, so we’re making sure the players recover well and strategize well.”

The road ahead undoubtedly gets tougher for Chua and her squad, but as is often the case in football, a lot can unfold on the field within 90 minutes.

The Kulas will be looking to defy expectations and make their mark in this critical encounter.

The Fiji Kulas will take on PNG in the first semifinal at 3pm on Wednesday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
