Players tried their best to control the ball under heavy conditions but they had to struggle throughout the first half.

Meanwhile, Nadi Is leading 1-0.

Nadi was first on the scoreboard following a set piece corner in the fifth minute.

Veteran Avinesh Waran Suwamy took the corner kick before Vuniuci Tikomaimereke finished it off with a beautiful header.
