Both sides were locked 1-1 in the dying stages of the match but Ba was awarded a penalty which proved to be the match winner.
The loss for Lautoka meant that Suva would maintain their top spot in the standings. Lautoka has lost their advantage and will be looking to gain valuable points when the league continues after the Vodafone Fiji FACT.
