Fiji vs Solomon Islands

Fiji looked set for a routine win over Solomon Islands in their MSG Prime Minister's Cup opener at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, only to watch a three-goal lead vanish in stoppage time as the visitors salvaged a wild 3-3 draw. Captain Roy Krishna opened the scoring in the 26th minute, before Rooney Riugaemai leveled from the penalty spot. Maikah Dau put Fiji back ahead just before halftime, and Thomas Dunn made it 3-1 in the 54th minute. Fiji were reduced to ten men when substitute Tevita Waranivalu was sent off in the 72nd minute, and Solomon Islands capitalized, with Jayroll Patti pulling one back in the 82nd minute before Javin Wae struck deep into stoppage time to complete the comeback. For Fiji, it's a costly slip on home soil after squandering a two-goal cushion down a man. Solomon Islands showed real fight, and the point could matter come the tournament's final standings.
