In the final match of the Pool stage at Rugby World Cup 2023, Portugal made history after winning their ever RWC match! After strong performances against Wales and Australia and a draw against Georgia, Os Lobos went into their final Pool D game against Fiji in Toulouse knowing a victory would be a huge upset against a side who needed just one point to make the quarter-final. After a close first half, Portugal wing Rodrigo Marta scored in the final minute before Samuel Marques slotted the conversion to snatch victory and make history out in France.

Portugal is so full of genuine enthusiasm for this 'new' sport

[@robertcottam8824]

REAL rugby. Nothing but respect for them.

[@edwardharris2388]

I've come back and watched these highlights at least 4 times now. Truly one of the all-time greatest rugby matches. Portugal left their whole heart on the field and you can see the pure elation in their faces when they win. Brilliant.

[@AwunMG19]

VAMOS LOBOS!! VAMOS PORTUGAL!!

[@danielealfredomarano5465]

Portogallo ha vinto il suo Mondiale, ed ha fatto la storia giocando una partita leggendaria

[@striderwhiston9897]

Best game out of the tournament IMO. Saying this as a Wales fan who absolutely loved the vs australia game for obvious reasons.

[@andrewcarter7503]

The most joyous game of the tournament. Portugal played their hearts out.

[@user-kj8lq7mo2s]

[@michael_d_420]

As a south african I can honestly say that Portugal are without a doubt my favourite team of the tier 2 nations. Respect to Portugal you guys showed the will and love to play and not just to participate but to go and win against a team nobody was expecting you guys to win against. Big Respect !!!! Hope Portugal can carry on with this momentum and become a playoff team in 2027.

[@raytheron]

[@user-ty4yx5pv2u]

ポルトガル、日本と同じような軌跡を歩んで欲しい

[@azorian888]

[@user-or3yo7hk3d]

The best game I've seen

[@daviddacostacabral2701]

As a portugese I was so happy

[@robertcottam8824]

Your lads EARNED your right to be happy. Well done!

[@christopherscobie]

I love rugby

[@robertcottam8824]

Not bad is it? 🤩 And all the better for your wonderful team!

[@makeperceive]

Bok supported, loved this game and wishing Portugal all the best in future. And I have no doubt we'll see the Flying Fijians work their magic too

[@usernameisjonah]

How Portugal beat the great Fiji team is a shocker but congrats

[@justinchetham-strode5234]

Brilliant! Well done Portugal.

[@PaulaAlmeidaLopes-zv2sv]

Orgulho em ser de Portugal

[@ManaBlack208]

Fiji are big and athletic but just way too placid dont have that killer instinct to the end.

[@johnnyrico6513]

wow, made for fantastic highlights.

[@reubenmartin4434]

Give the guy's more games for experience

[@DRIVER-SEBVET]

Hopefully teams like Fiji gets the necessary support to improve even further... Plus they need to be playing international rugby regularly like the best teams.... Then there's teams like Portugal who showed real potential but lack quality.... They need support from world rugby not just talk....

[@eduromero2971]

Parabens!!!!

[@ardiethegoat]

Portugal hat Fiji-Style gespielt!

[@amilliondone3018]

1st half: 🥱 2nd half: 😮

[@newtheory785]

Go on Os Lobos!

[@nandinhocunha440]

I still cry at this game. Last one to join and last one to win. And Portugal wasn't the favorite to enter this game. US was the favourite

[@paulabarbosa3365]

🙌🏼❤

[@Samizouza]

Well deserved for Portugal on making history, Fiji really need to work on their consistency in terms of staying hot like they were against big teams instead of slumping whenever they play the "emerging teams" like Portugal and Georgia.

[@hugoalomo4451]

Aprendan Españoles..... No cuesta nada hacer las cosas bien!!!!!! Gracias Portugal, por tremendo mundial..... De Argentina, mis respeto

[@stevehughes240]

It's only a HUGE upset if you care about un-huge teams.

[@striderwhiston9897]

A huge upset is defined by an extreme underdog winning, this is what happened here. Portugal is partly amateur as well, so this makes it even more incredible.

[@SVAgxlxxi]

it should’ve been the usa 😢

[@Centre14]

can you make a compilation of missed/mistaken calls by the referees!🙌🏽

[@muhammad2086]

Lol. They would never. They have to protect their refs.

[@seanofarrell8896]

​@@muhammad2086yep they don't punish ref's for bad calls etc.

[@klover4107]

although they would never, the compilation would be too darn long lmfaooo

[@brucefale6132]

A pointless exercise bro. If you've watched rugby for as long as I have or any sport for that matter bad calls are just part of the game. It always has been. No matter how much technology is involved there will be 50/50 calls after all they are human and will make mistakes. And for those that bag the referee I guarantee you they've never reffed a game in their life. It's not as easy as it looks. Armchair critics are the worse because it's easier to sit at home and criticise.
