The Rewa football team has forced its way into the Courts IDC semi-final after beating Lautoka 2-1 at the HFC Bank Stadium.
The Delta Tigers kicked Lautoka out of the IDC, as the Blues needed a draw to stay in contention or a win would have guaranteed their spot in the semi-final.
Abbu Zahid continued his goal-scoring touch when he opened the account to give Rewa a 1-nil lead.
Blues captain Zibraaz Sahib rose to the occasion to level scores.
Both teams were locked at 1-all at the breather.
Rewa coach Marika Rodu says they did what needed to be done.
“Winning this game matters for us as I’ve been emphasizing. We need to grow in this tournament so when we came into the Labasa game, we learnt from that, the Ba game we, we learnt from that as well and then we put everything together into this game to get us into the next stage.”
The Delta Tigers continued its attacking football and Atkin Kaua increased their lead from a Abbu Zahid through-ball.
The Kamal Swamy-coached side tried their best in the last quarter of the match to find the equaliser but Rewa defense stood tall and did not allow any more goals against them.
