The ball bounced off a Solomon defender which gave Labasa striker Christopher Wasasala a chance to strike past the Solomon goal keeper.

Coach Flemming Serritslev says he is happy with the win.

Serritslev says they played better in this match compared to their last three games.

“They have been doing their best, two times we have been down to 10 men and we have been able to win and I am proud of the boys here”

Serritslev says despite being one man short, the boys fought till the end.
