The Digicel Fiji Baby Bula Boys will be going into this afternoon’s OFC U16 Men's Championship semi final against Tahiti as underdogs and coach Sunil Kumar says they are comfortable with that tag.

Kumar says the side has not played minutes football in their previous matches at the tournament yet, but he believes they are close to achieving it.

He says they must be on top of their game and they cannot afford to make mistakes in this match.

The coach says the boys are excited about the match and the opportunity it presents.

He adds the key will be to stick to the plan and not get carried away by emotions as they are playing them at their home ground.

The Baby Bula Boys take on Tahiti at 4pm in the second semi final while New Zealand takes on New Caledonia at 1pm.

The top three teams from this tournament will qualify for the FIFA U17 World Cup in Qatar next year.
