Extra Bula FC defender Semi Nabenu has described his team’s recent defeat as a valuable learning experience. Although Bula controlled much of the match and dominated possession, they were unable to convert this advantage into goals, ultimately succumbing to their opponents, who effectively exploited two critical counter-attacks.
Nabenu expressed his disappointment at the result, acknowledging the many opportunities the team had to at least secure a draw. He stressed the significance of capitalizing on these moments, as defensive lapses allowed the opposition to score. “It was very disappointing. We dominated the ball but couldn’t handle their counter-attacks, and we just couldn’t capitalize on our chances. It simply wasn’t our day,” he remarked.
The defender pointed out a series of near misses during the second half, noting instances where shots struck the post and crossbar, underscoring Bula’s dominance in play while struggling to find the back of the net. He identified that the team was slightly behind in defensive transitions against their adversaries, which ultimately contributed to their loss.
Despite the disappointment, Nabenu conveyed the team’s determination to learn from the match. He encouraged his teammates to concentrate on refining their execution in the attacking third, using the defeat as a source of motivation for their upcoming games. Extra Bula FC is scheduled to face PNG Hekari next on Wednesday at 7:45 PM, with fans able to watch the match live on FBC Sports. This forthcoming fixture presents an opportunity for Extra Bula FC to recover and demonstrate their potential on the field.
