This also marked Lautoka’s first victory in the Champions League. Under pressure from the get-go striker Valerio Nawatu gave Lautoka an early lead just nine minutes in the first spell. # #Navua equalised as Monit Chand floated a shot from the left hand side inches outside the Lautoka box. Praneel Kumar was in the right position to head it in.#In the second half Navua woked hard to maintain possession and launch a series of attack but fail to get on the score sheet. #In the 69th minute Lautoka progressed in the Navua half and an umarked Alvin Avinesh scored Lautoka’s second with his wild trademark 30 yarder attempt. #A jubilant Lautoka head coach Gurjit Singh says the victory over Navua was a perfect one to get their campaign for the remainder of the season back on track. #“A win is a good sign for us and the Lautoka fans. We will be out for a similar outing in our upcoming matches. The last three games although we played well but we could not win. Out against Navua we had to win at any cost,” Singh said. #Wednesday 9 February 2011, TFL National Stadium- Suva#Full Time: Lautoka 2 Navua 1 #Lautoka Goals: Valerio Nawatu 9”: Alvin Avinesh 69” #Lautoka Caution: Valerio Nawatu 61’: Samuela Drudru 85’#Navua Goal: Parneel Kumar 29”#Navua Caution: Sheik Moshin 70’ # # Fiji FA MEDIA# #
