Fiji's Sailimone Ravonokula was shown a red card at the end of the first half after a scuffle had broken out.

He became the first player to be sent from the field in the entire tournament.

Fiji led 1-0 at half time.

Ibraheem Afazal scored Fiji's second goal in the 49th minute while William Khan sealed it through his 90th minute goal.

Delon Shankar received the player of the match award.
