Hosts Fiji handed India a 2-1 humiliation in the second and final international football match at Suva on Sunday to clinch the first ever series between the two sides.

India, desperately needing a win to redeem some prestige after losing against a local club side in their tour opener and to the Fiji national side in the first match on Friday, failed to take advantage of an early lead at the Post Fiji Stadium.

Irungbam Surkumar Singh's 10th minute goal put the visitors ahead but the side failed to maintain the lead for long as Luke Vidovi netted the equaliser 15 minutes later, according to information received.

Seasoned campaigner Esala Masi, who had scored the lone goal in Friday's match, did the trick for the home side this time as well, slamming home the winner in the 61st minute, helping Fiji make a 2-0 clean sweep.
