Lautoka triumphed over the Samoan national team with a score of 2-1 in a friendly match held at Churchill Park last night, thanks to experienced striker Saula Waqa, who scored both goals for his team. Waqa showcased his impressive form throughout the season, proving to be a challenging opponent for the Samoans. This match served as an opportunity for Lautoka’s coaching staff to experiment with various line-ups ahead of the upcoming 2024 FMF Inter District Championship, which kicks off next week.
