Fijian club Rewa suffered a 4-2 defeat against Solomon club Marist FC in their Oceania Champions League opening match in Tahiti.
Both teams were locked one all in the first half. Marist FC’s Andra Morosini scored the first goal in the third minute of the play before Rewa’s Brazilian import Marcelo Junior equalized in the 44th minute of the first half.

Indiscipline was once again a major issue as Rewa were cut to nine men after Deigo Maximo and Peniame Drova were shown red cards in the second half.
Marist then got the momentum and scored three more goal. Delta Tigers defender Amani Makoe pulled one goal back but it was not enough to win the match.
Rewa takes on AS Tefana in its next pool match at 7pm on Wednesday.
