San Marino made history on Thursday night, winning a competitive international match for the first time in their history. Nicko Sensoli’s second-half goal was enough to give the minnows a 1-0 victory over Liechtenstein in their Nations League Group D1 opener, sparking wild celebrations at the 7,000-capacity stadium.
The micronation had not won a match for 20 years prior to this long-awaited victory, defeating Liechtenstein by the same scoreline in a 2004 friendly. There had been some near misses, draws Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Seychelles over the last couple of years.
