The Fiji football Under 19 captain emphasizes that it’s teamwork that fueled them to victory yesterday in the OFC Men’s Championship.

Following their big 6-1 victory over Vanuatu in their last pool game, captain Penisoni Tirau expresses that players stood as one and worked hard to achieve the desired result.

Tirau adds they’re aware of their situation and was determined to make it through to the knockout stages.

“It wasn’t an easy battle, credit to the boys for working hard together. We were there in the changing room and we were talking about this much-win match-which was a huge pressure for us but yeah the boys came out and we worked as a team and we achieved our goal which is to go through to the semis.”
