The Fiji Police Force soccer team has successfully defended their title in the Vodafone Ratu Sukuna Bowl Football Challenge, dominating the Army team with a decisive 6-1 victory at the HFC Bank Stadium amidst rainy conditions.
From the outset, it was clear that the Police team, bolstered by several district and national players, had control of the match. They concluded the first half with a 1-0 lead, courtesy of power striker and standout player Sairusi Nalaubu, who was named man of the match for his exceptional performance.
In the second half, Nalaubu added another goal to his tally, while teammate Ratu Apenisa Anare also scored two goals. The Army managed to find the back of the net with a late consolation goal from forward Salacieli Dakunaibuca, igniting hopes for a possible comeback among their supporters. However, Dakunaibuca quickly became the center of controversy, receiving a straight red card shortly after his goal due to unsportsmanlike behavior.
In the closing moments of the match, Tevita Warainaivalu and Ilisoni Lolaivalu each added a goal, sealing the impressive victory for the Police Force team.
This victory not only showcases the team’s skill and determination but also highlights the depth of talent within the Fiji Police Force soccer lineup.
