Robert Thomas |

Vanuatu champion club, Tafea F.C. played their first NSL match yesterday 1pm against Zero 8 at PVM Stadium and ruled out the Spirits in a 2-1 win.

The young Spirit team displayed some very good ball work in the first minutes of the match which saw Joseph Tahumphrey opening the score for Spirit 15 minutes in the game to put the score at 1-0 the first half.

Tafea new boss and coach, Saby Natonga tweaked their strategy in the second half that saw Robert Thomas all the way from the back came to score the equalizer.

But just before full-time, Francois Sakama breaks all hope for Spirit when he blasted the winning goal for Tafea 70 minutes in the game and closed the scoreboard at 2 goals to 1.

The is the first win for Tafea F.C. in the NSL tournament.
