Tomorrow collective holiday for everyone in San Marino? What a scene: the national football team has caused a delirium by booking a victory for the first time in 20 years. In the duel of the dwarf states against Lichtenstein, the 19-year-old Nicko Sensoli emerged as a national hero with the redeeming goal. And that in front of the home crowd.

A striking statistic emerged tonight ahead of the Nations League clash between San Marino and Lichtenstein.
- Liechtenstein had not won for 4 years, with the last victory coming against San Marino in 2020.
- And San Marino, in turn, had not won for 20 years: the last victory was against – yes – Liechtenstein in 2004.
In short, it was written in the stars that a piece of football cult would be lost today.
And yes, it was San Marino’s wish that would come true. The exceptionally mediocre duel of the dwarf states exploded just before the hour mark thanks to the 19-year-old “local hero” Nicko Sensoli.
The young striker mercilessly punished Liechtenstein’s defensive wanderings and sent the home team into a frenzy, with everyone jumping around his neck and the stands shaking.
A scene that would happen again after half an hour of shivering and fighting for every bit of ground. At the final whistle it was still 1-0. And so San Marino finally booked another redeeming victory.
Or what this phase of the Nations League is good for.
