In a surprising turn of events at the FA Cup, Lautoka FC danced away with a narrow win beating home team Suva FC in a tightly contested fixture. There was only one goal in the match and it came from Lautoka FC in the second half precisely at 72nd-minute mark, tilting the balance in favor of the away team.

Despite Suva FC's robust attempts to claw back into the game, evident by their 6 corner kicks outnumbering Lautoka FC's 3, they failed to make any successful conversions. A lack of precision and finishing in the final third was evident, as despite several set-piece opportunities, they were unable to find the back of the net.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Lautoka FC as they had to play a huge part of the second half with caution due to accumulating 3 yellow cards. Two of these cautions came during the second half, at the 81st and 85th-minute marks, subsequently making the game increasingly challenging for them. Despite playing under constant pressure, their defense stood resolute, denying any scoring opportunities for Suva FC ending the game with a 1-0 victory.

Suva FC also had disciplinary issues of their own with a yellow card awarded in the second half at the 74th-minute mark, but Lautoka FC managed to exploit the gaps within the game and capitalized on a crucial scoring opportunity, which turned out to be the only goal of the encounter.

The absence of red cards on both sides is testament to the teams' sportsmanship and discipline despite the high stakes and pressure of the FA Cup clash. The yellow card caution for Lautoka, however, could have had a significant impact, with the team having to adopt a cautious approach to avoid further bookings, but Lautoka FC managed to maneuver through the challenges and held their nerve to secure the win.

In summary, Lautoka FC's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities amidst disciplinary challenges has seen them edge Suva FC in this FA Cup fixture. Suva FC, despite enjoying more corner kicks, failed to convert these into goals, thus highlighting a key area for improvement in their future performances. Regardless, both teams displayed commendable discipline and good sportsmanship throughout this tightly contested encounter. For the bettors, the single-goal margin and the yellow cards would have been the key determinants in this competition.
