The Fiji men’s football side now looks ahead to its second friendly match against Vanuatu next week.

Despite their 2-1 loss in Port Vila yesterday, the Bula Boys continue their preparations after some players got valuable game minutes in the match.

There were also valuable lessons learnt from the encounter, which will help in their next match.

The narrow loss could have been avoided, but an unfortunate own goal in the second half proved decisive.
