The Extra Bula FC side exacted sweet revenge against Tahiti United FC with a convincing 2-0 victory in Round 4 of the OFC Pro League.

After a tight first half that ended 0-0, the match burst into life in the second half when substitute Setareki Hughes stepped up spectacularly.

Hughes came off the bench and delivered a brilliant performance, scoring two quick goals in the 71st and 76th minutes to seal the win for Extra Bula FC at the Solomon Islands ground.

His impressive impact earned him the Man of the Match award, capping off a memorable night for the forward.

This win lifts Bula FC to 12 points, leaving them just one point away from a top four position and giving them a crucial boost in their OFC Pro League campaign.
