The selection of the European microstate won by the minimum score against Liechtenstein, which is the most important result in its history.
Until Thursday, San Marino was synonymous with defeat. They had never won a duel on points and it had been a decade since they had scored three in any game. Until 19-year-old Nicko Sensoli scored against Liechtenstein. The goal was enough for the team from the microstate to win 1-0 and end a bad streak of 175 matches. The duel was played at the Olympic Stadium and was for Group D of the Nations League.
Since July 30, 2014, when they beat Bellaria Igea 2-0 in an unofficial duel that did not work out. They had already won a friendly match, also against Liechtenstein, on April 27, 2004.
In the victory of San Marino highlights the story of its captain, Dante Rossi, born in Argentina, in Pujato, the same city as Lionel Scaloni, and who today defends the European team. “I’ve always played football, I played junior at Newell’s, then I was at Pergamino. I was in an academy with Jorge Fernando Griffa. I don’t know Scaloni, but they told me he was a good person. “He’s a fan of the rival club,” he told ESPN.
