Striker Rusiate Matererega repaid Rewa officials faith in him when he scored the goal that beat Ba 1-0 in the Digicel Premier League clash at the ANZ Stadium, Suva, yesterday.
The Rewa Football officials signed up Matererega from Nadroga after they lost Anish Khem to Suva.
What happened: Both goalkeepers Mohammed Alam and Tevita Koroi worked overtime to keep their goalmouth intact.
Halftime: Rewa 0-0 Ba
A tactical change by Rewa in bringing in Matererega and Iosefo Verevou lifted their performance.
Matererega headed in the lone goal in the 75th minute.
Comment: Rewa coach Rodicks Singh said: “We decided to start with the same boys that we had last year, and give the new boys a chance in the second half.”
