It was veteran and former Labasa star Penaia Bale whose 25th minute goal was enough for the Northern-based side to pull off a major upset.
The victory was a testimony that Savusavu deserve to be in the Super Premier following their promotion to the top division at the back end of last season.
This was their third victory in the 2011 National Football League as they have beaten Tavua, Nadroga, Ba and last weekend drew 1-1 with Suva.
