The Fiji national U-19 Women’s football team has begun its OFC U-19 Women’s Championship campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Cook Islands.
The win puts Fiji on top of Group A with three points.
Fiji looked sharp from the start, with Adi Reva scoring early.
However, the Cook Islands responded with a powerful header from Aikitu Mose, which levelled the score.
The match remained tight until the second half, when Annie Finau capitalized on a goalkeeping error to score the winning goal for Fiji.
The result puts Fiji in a strong position for the semi-finals.
Their fate now rests on their next match against Tonga, with anything other than a Tonga win securing Fiji and the Cook Islands a spot in the next round.
