A try in the 82nd minute shattered Manu Samoa’s hopes of victory as Romania secured its first Nations Cup win with a 38-37 result at Estadio Charrúa in Montevideo, Uruguay, on Sunday morning.
Manu Samoa captain Miracle Faiilagi fought back tears during the post-match interview as he blamed Samoa’s ill-discipline for the one-point loss.
“It was our discipline that let us down today,” Faiilagi said. “It was very disappointing.” “Glory to God, thank you Samoa for your support.”
Faiilagi also acknowledged Romania after the match. “It is what it is. Credit to Romania.”
