Rewa extended their lead in the Digicel Fiji Premier League with a tough 2-0 win over Lautoka in Round 16 at Ratu Cakobau Park, Nausori. The match was intensely contested from the beginning, with both teams exhibiting strong performances on the field. However, Lautoka faced a setback when Antonio Tuivuna received a red card just before halftime after two yellow cards, leaving them with only ten players.
Tevita Waranivalu took advantage of the situation by scoring both goals from the penalty spot in the first half, sealing a vital win for Rewa. This victory reinforces Rewa’s dominance at the top of the league standings with 37 points, while Labasa follows in second place with 32 points and Lautoka in third with 28 points, as the season approaches its conclusion with just two rounds remaining.
