The Fiji men's rugby sevens team is on track to defend its Olympic Games gold medal after beating Ireland 19-15 in the medal quarterfinal on Friday morning.
Ireland led a lot of the match and pushed for a winning try after time had run out.
But the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 gold medal winners held on to win and will now be playing Australia - who beat the USA 18-0 - for a place in the gold medal match.
South Africa beat New Zeland 14-7, while France defeated Argentina 26-14 in the other quarterfinals, and are set to face each other in the semifinals.
The semifinals and gold medal match will take place on Sunday morning, Fiji time.
