The Fiji soccer team is celebrating their first victory over New Zealand in 24 years.

Two classy goals in the second half from Labasa golden boy, Roy Krishna, gave Fiji a 2-0 victory in the World Cup qualifier.

Although this match was of no significance, as New Zealand have already qualified for the 2010 World Cup playoffs, the fact remains that Fiji has beaten the All Whites and will now improve on their world soccer rankings.

Fiji Coach Carlos Buzetti also had a lot of praise for Krishna and other members of the team as they ended the season with a win.

Buzetti said the future of Fiji soccer looks bright and they can start the 2009 season on a high note.
