EXTRA Bula FC head coach Stephane Auvray has expressed determination to not let their efforts in the OFC Pro League go to waste, despite suffering a 0-2 defeat to Vanuatu United FC on Sunday. Auvray conveyed his thoughts following the match, emphasizing the team’s strong defensive performance, noting that their opponents only capitalized on three chances.
“Our defense was solid, and we maintained possession, creating several clear opportunities,” Auvray commented. He remains optimistic about the potential for future success, stating, “Once we start scoring, things will change significantly for us.”
The coach highlighted the importance of patience and focus, asserting, “We have to ensure we don’t lose everything we’ve worked for so far.” Despite the recent losses, he noted that the team has been competitive in previous matches, sharing his frustration over their inability to convert chances into goals. “It feels like we’re having the same discussion after each game. The positive takeaway is that we’re dominating most matches, aside from our victory against Solomon Kings FC.”
Today, Bula FC will face PNG Hekari FC at 8 PM, and Auvray is calling on his players to harness their competitive spirit to turn performances into results. With the right mindset and continued effort, there’s hope that Bula FC can translate their dominance into scoring success in future matches.
