The Suva football team showed class and enthusiasm as they defeated Navua 4-1 in round 11 of the Vodafone Premier League thriller at the ANZ Stadium.
Remueru Tekiate opened the scoring minutes before the breather through a power full free-kick to give the Whites a 1-nil lead at half time.

Navua tried hard to settle in the second half and managed to pull one back through Sharad Kumar for a 3-1 scoreline.
Navua went down to ten men after Mosese Balenagaga was shown a red card after a dangerous foul on Christopher Wasasala in the second half.
