Virginia Brígido, heroine in the end with a try on the last ball for the victory of Las Yaguaretés

On the last ball of the match, Virginia Brígido dressed as heroin again and hit The Yaguaretés an unforgettable triumph for 14-12 facing Spain on the second day of action in the SVNS 2 of Montevideo.

When it seemed that the game was slipping away, the Argentine player – who had already supported the golden try against China on the first day – found a gap, cut the defense and supported under the sticks to turn the story against Las Leonas in an electrifying closing.

The match had started uphill for the Argentine team, which found itself at a 5-0 disadvantage after Marta Fresno’s try. However, Las Yaguaretés reacted in time: Josefina Padellaro supported to equalize the actions and, with the conversion of Cristal Escalante, they managed to go into the break ahead 7-5, showing character in a very even duel.

In the second half, the infractions complicated the Argentines and Spain took the opportunity to take the lead thanks to Paula Requena’s try, added to Juana Stella’s extras (12-7). But when time was up, Las Yaguaretés had one last chance and they did not fail: Brígido appeared at the right moment, supported between the sticks and left the victory served, which was later secured with González’s conversion to seal a memorable comeback in Montevideo.
