By Aled Williams, BBC Wales Sport at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham

Wales (4) 16
Tries: Roets (2), Walker
Goals: White (2)

United States (12) 24
Tries: Newton (2), Petersen, Paulo, Samoa
Goals: Paulo (2)

‘Wales became the first side to be eliminated from the Rugby League World Cup as the United States secured a deserved win at the Racecourse.

Christiaan Roets scored the opening try but the Tomahawks responded through Clint Newton and Matthew Petersen.

Man-of-the-match Joseph Paulo, Newton and Tuisegasega Samoa added further tries for the United States.

Wales rallied with late consolation tries from Roets and Anthony Walker but the result had long been decided.’
