PC: OFC Pro League

Extra Bula FC stand just one point behind South Melbourne FC on the OFC Pro League points table ahead of their big match this Wednesday.

South Melbourne FC are in second place with 19 points, followed by Bula FC with 18 points.

Auckland FC are leading the points table with 26 points.

South Melbourne FC forward Ishveer Singh reflected on their 3-2 loss to Auckland FC despite squad challenges.

He says the side is currently juggling multiple competitions across two countries, stretching squad depth and limiting substitutions at times.

Singh adds the players showed resilience throughout the match and believes they were the better side for much of the first half.

The Kiwi-born player has also praised the environment at South Melbourne FC, describing it as a close-knit family that has helped him settle in.

Bula FC takes on South Melbourne this Wednesday at 7pm at 4R Stadium, Govind Park in Ba.
