Suva celebrated its first victory of the 2025 season with a narrow 3-2 win over Nadi in Round 2 of the Extra Premier League at King Charles Park on Sunday. The players came out strong, with Suva quickly establishing a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Abhishek Deo and veteran Waisake Navunigasau by halftime.
In the second half, Suva substituted in imports Gagame Feni, Molis Gagame, and Joe Moses. Feni quickly made his mark, scoring Suva’s third goal and putting them in a commanding position. However, Nadi mounted a comeback in the final moments of the match, scoring twice, which intensified the pressure on the visitors.
Adding to the drama, Suva’s goalkeeper Jason Rokovucake was injured late in the game, forcing them to field an outfield player in goal. Despite this challenging situation, Suva held on to secure all three points, leaving both teams with four points after two matches.
This win is a promising sign for Suva as they continue their journey in the league, reflecting their determination and resilience even under pressure. Football fans can anticipate exciting matches ahead as the teams work hard to improve their standings in the league.
