Ten-man Suva triumphed over Lautoka in a thrilling Round 17 match of the Digicel Fiji Premier League at Churchill Park today.
An early goal from Ni-Vanuatu player Joe Moses proved pivotal for the Flick Hygiene-sponsored team.
Lautoka had the opportunity to equalize late in the game when Joeli Ranitu was penalized for a foul inside the penalty area and received a red card after a second booking.
Nevertheless, Suva’s goalkeeper and Captain Akuila Mateisuva showcased an exceptional save to deny Sairusi Nalaubu’s penalty attempt.
With this victory, Suva accumulates 22 points, securing seventh place in the standings, while Lautoka remains in third position with 28 points.
