The USA and New Zealand had met 28 times in the sport of Rugby Sevens before their match at the 2015 Dubai Sevens tournament, and in that time New Zealand have maintained a perfect record against the Americans.
That all ended today when a penalty try scored after full time and successful conversion saw the USA claim a 14-12 win in one of the biggest upsets and one of the most dramatic finishes the sport has seen.
It was an elusive run from Perry Baker after USA were given a penalty on the full time buzzer that saw the Americans score the try they needed to level the scores at 12-12.
Then a successful conversion from Madison Hughes from a difficult position put the USA up 14-12 and gave them the win.
