triumphed
- 1Simple past and past participle of triumph.
The small nation triumphed against overwhelming odds.

Note
One -ed form does double duty here. It stands alone as the past tense (the team triumphed) and follows have in the perfect (they have triumphed). The verb takes no direct object, so whatever is defeated arrives after a preposition, usually over or against: triumphed over rivals, triumphed against the odds. The same form can also mean exulted in a victory, or, at the card table, played a trump.
She triumphed over every rival in the field.
Having triumphed at last, they celebrated late into the night.
