good morning!
For the first time in competitive history, San Marino have won a competitive football match!
I know I’m not the only one here who’s been measuring their lifespan by this metric, so let’s all take a moment to rejoice in this momentous accomplishment.
Stuck in the bottom of the Nations League, San Marino pulled off a 1-0 win against Liechtenstein on Thursday.
The lone goal came in the 53rd minute from forward Nicko Sensoli. And it was from a pair of blunders from the Liechtenstein defense. First, the defender couldn’t control the ball. Then, the goalie came out when he shouldn’t have. All of it leading to a rather straightforward goal for Sensoli.
It was their first competitive win in 160ish attemps. That is insane.
So I think we can all head into the weekend celebrating the greatest accomplishment in sport this week.
