Nadroga extended their lead in the beginning of the second half when Osea Vakatalesau scored from the penalty spot.

Nadroga is having a wonderful season as the team coached by Johnny Williams is still unbeaten in 2020. Despite that, they need to stay focused on their main goal: winning Vodafone Senior League to book a spot at Vodafone Premier League – the top-tier league from Fiji. Nadroga will face Bua in the Senior League’s final next month.
