Freddie's hilarious reaction to stunning Lebanon try

Lebanon scored one of the tries of the World Cup in their narrow loss to Tonga, and coach Brad Fittler couldn't contain his excitement.

The Cedars put the ball through 14 sets of hands during an incredible play from one side of the field to the other, before winger Abbas Miski went over for his second try of the day.

The incredible try had Fittler dancing in the coach's box, and as you can see in the video above, he produced some pretty awesome moves.

Many fans and commentators went wild over the try, calling it arguably the best of the tournament so far.

Tonga went one step closer to the decider, downing Lebanon 24-22 in Christchurch.

In Saturday's end-to-end affair, which will go down as one of the most-exciting tussles of the tournament, Tonga's first-half display was just enough to get them over the line.

In a helter-skelter opening stanza, Mate Ma'a piled on three tries in 22 minutes, only for the valiant Cedars to get back to within a try by halftime.

An attritional second half in which both sides were out on their feet was ultimately decided by an Ata Hingano penalty goal - surpassing a try-of-the-cup contender from Cedars winger Abbas Miski.

With a Mitchell Moses-inspired Lebanon unable to nab a late winner, Tonga progress to a semi-final next week against England or Papua New Guinea.

A World Cup final is on offer, most likely against Australia, in what would be a historic achievement for a tier-two rugby league nation.
