Ba's winning goal was scored by Darold Kakasi through a diving header in the 28th minute of the second half.

Lautoka now needs to beat Ba by two clear goals to win the series.
A one nil win for Lautoka on Sunday will see both Lautoka and Ba have equal points and goal aggregate and a third match will have to be played to decide the winner.
