SERRAVALLE, San Marino (AP) — San Marino defeated Liechtenstein 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday for its first-ever competitive win.
Nicko Sensoli scored in the 53rd minute to give the tiny nation surrounded by Italy its first triumph in a competitive game.
It had beaten Liechtenstein by the same score in 2004, but in a friendly.
San Marino is No. 210 — last — in FIFA’s world rankings. Liechtenstein isn’t far ahead at No. 199.
The victory came in Group D1 of the competition.
