tuvimos
"Had" (first-person plural preterite form of "tener").
In this sentence, 'tuvimos' is used in the first person plural (nosotros/as) preterite tense of the verb 'tener', meaning 'to have'. It refers to possessing or holding something, in this case, a meeting, in the past.

'Tuvimos' here indicates a necessity or condition that was met in the past, coming from the verb 'tener' as well and showing an obligation or requirement in the context of making an effort.

During the match, we had to make an effort to win.
In this example, 'tuvimos' expresses the possession or occurrence of something abstract, such as 'luck', in the past. It derives from the verb 'tener' in preterite tense.
