The tension increased in the match as this led to two other red cards to Suva’s Filipe Baravilala and Labasa’s Ilisoni Logaivou just minutes before the final whistle as the Whites finished the match with nine players and the Babasiga Lions finished with 10 players.
Labasa Captain Akuila Mateisuva made some brilliant saves which spared Labasa from a loss.
