Extra Bula FC’s OFC Pro League campaign has come to an end after a heartbreaking 2-1 extra-time defeat to Vanuatu United FC in Auckland.

The Fijian side looked on course to force penalties after leading for much of the contest, but a dramatic late equaliser and extra-time winner ended Bula’s hopes of progressing further in the competition.

Bula struck first through Josaia Sela in the 18th minute and defended resolutely for most of the match against a determined Vanuatu United outfit.

However, Vanuatu United found a breakthrough deep into stoppage time, with Soromon scoring in the 90th plus 11th minute to force extra time.
