Samoa secured a convincing victory against Tonga, winning 43-17 in their second match of the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup at Apia Park. This win marks a significant turnaround for Samoa, following their disappointing 42-16 defeat to Fiji last week in Suva.
Playing at home, the Samoan team exhibited a strong performance characterized by discipline and commitment throughout the match. They dominated the first half, leading 17-0 at halftime, and continued to maintain control in the second half, despite Tonga’s attempts to score.
Samoa’s next step will depend on the outcome of the upcoming Fiji-Tonga match, which will determine their qualification for the semifinals of the tournament.
