After a close 1-2 result in the first test last Thrusday at Churchill Park in Lautoka , the national side gained confidence to topple the South Americans. #Fiji made few changes to their line up which saw Ba stopper Ratu Jone Gasaubalavu start ahead of young Akuila Mateisuva. #PNG based Maciu Dunadamu was promoted to the starting line up as Valerio Nawatu was named on the bench. #Gasaubalavu gave a man of the match performance as he denied the Brazilians many scoring opportunities. #Krishna was dangerous as ever and kept lurking. #He struck in the 31st minute as he was setup by Ilimotama Jese for the opening goal of the match which also proved to be the match winner. #In the second half the Play Fair Brazil side dominated possession but the strong Fiji defence was at their best. #The home crowd got behind Fiji which was an added strength as Fiji held on for a famous victory. #Fiji team director Taranesh Reddy believes the result is a perfect boost for football in the country.#“It was a very tough match but the boys stood the test and proved that they have a lot of pride for the national side. This is a very positive result for us as we prepare for the next World Cup playoffs. “ #“We will look back at this day in future and say yes we beat the Play Fair Brazil side. I believe this is a boost for football in Fiji after the national side did not do well at the Nations Cup,” Reddy said. #Play Fair Brazil team manager Marcos Grava Vasaconcelos said the results did not matter.#He said their aim was to showcase high standard of football.#”A win and a loss is not important but I think the people here have seen a high level football game,” Vasaconcelos said.#”I must congratulate the Fiji side for a great match. We felt like playing against Uruguay. Fiji was very solid in defence. Carlos is doing a good job.#”The Fiji team is very young and if they keep playing together than they could have a bright future. These players could get attachments with clubs in Brazil.#”Today they knew that it was a match of their lives. It was a unique opportunity to play with their hearts.#”When they scored the goal they went back to half of the pitch and defended. We tried hard to break the defence but could not do that,” he told TIMESSPORT.#Saturday August 25, 2012#Full Time: Fiji 1 Play Fair Brazil 0#Fiji Goal: Roy Krishna 31’#Brazil Cautions: Carlos Luciano da Silva#2.30pm Govind Park, Ba#Vodafone Play Fair Brazil Fiji Tour#August 25, 2012#
