Description

American Samoa claimed a landmark moment in their footballing history with a 3-0 victory over Tonga, their first-ever win and goal in a FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier, 27 years after debuting in the 1998 campaign. Led by a standout two-goal performance from Cassidy Pamela Drago, American Samoa controlled the contest from the outset, creating sustained pressure that eventually produced the breakthrough in first-half stoppage time. Tonga, despite entering as the highest-ranked side in the group, struggled to establish rhythm and were repeatedly denied by disciplined defending and sharp goalkeeping. Cassidy Pamela Drago’s second-half strike and a late third from Aaliyah Tu’ua sealed a dominant performance sealed the win for American Samoa.
