San Marino Claims First Competitive Win in 20 Years

San Marino achieved a historic milestone by securing their first-ever competitive victory, defeating Liechtenstein 1-0 in the Nations League. The lone goal came from 19-year-old Nicko Sensoli, who capitalized on a defensive error in the 53rd minute, marking San Marino's first win in over 20 years. This victory ends a staggering 141-match winless streak and elevates San Marino to the top of Group D1 in the Nations League. Previously, the team had recorded only one win from 205 international matches, which was a friendly against Liechtenstein in 2004. The game sparked jubilant celebrations, reflecting the significance of this achievement for the tiny nation with a population of around 33,000. San Marino will play their next match against Moldova on Tuesday.
