“Apart from the serious risk of a heart attack, all I can say ⁣is that these boys‌ have made history tonight,” Ansa news agency quoted the association’s⁢ visibly moved president, Marco Tura, as saying.

After falling behind, ‍San Marino turned the game in their favor with goals from Lorenzo Lazzari ⁤(46th minute), Nicola Nanni (66th/penalty) and Alessandro Golinucci (76th).

“The game​ of a ‍lifetime”

X’s ⁢account said the actors played “the game of their lives”. “It was an insult to⁣ football to end the first half 1-0, but the boys were brilliant ⁢and they deserved‍ what they achieved,” said San Marino coach Cevoli.

The country ‍surrounded by⁣ Italy, who are 210th and last in the FIFA world ‍rankings ahead of currently unlisted Eritrea, had already won⁢ their first group game against Liechtenstein 1-0 at the ⁤beginning of September. Against the same opponent, San Marino won their last and only international match on April 28,⁣ 2004 (1-0).
