Vanuatu international Alex Saniel comes from the bench to score a brace for Suva

Alex Saniel, Vanuatu international striker, made a significant impact in Suva’s 4-1 victory over Navua on April 2nd, 2023, in the Digicel Fiji Premier League. Saniel, who had recently returned to Suva, scored two goals in the match, which marked his first goals for the team. The former Lautoka striker came from the bench in the second half to score a brace for his side and give them much needed three points in the league.

Saniel’s first goal came from a well-executed corner-kick that he headed into the nets. The striker showed his excellent timing and jumping ability to outsmart Navua’s defenders and guide the ball into the back of the net. The goal was a critical one for Suva, as it helped them take the lead and gain momentum in the match. Saniel scored another in the late stages of the game to confirm the 4-1 over Navua for his side.

Saniel’s performance was a significant boost for Suva, who are preparing for the upcoming OFC Champions League to be played in Vanuatu in May. The 26-year-old striker has already played seven times for his country at the senior level, indicating his experience and talent on the field. Saniel’s addition to the Suva squad will undoubtedly enhance their chances of success in the competition.
