“Finding the first half 0-1 was an insult to football, but the boys were great and they deserved what they achieved,” said San Marino coach Roberto Cevoli.
President in “risk of heart attack”
“Besides being in serious danger of a heart attack, I can only say that these boys made history tonight,” rejoiced Marco Tura, president of the San Marino Football Federation: ” As people, as athletes, as men. I showed them what they were worth.”
On Monday night in Vaduz, San Marino scored three goals for the first time in their international history and won a match by two goals for the first time. It is not surprising that this was only the third victory for San Marino in the 212th international game – the dwarf state with almost 34,000 inhabitants celebrated all the success against the Principality of Liechtenstein, which has approx. on 39,000 people. The next success came just two months after a 1-0 home win against Liechtenstein – the tiny republic had previously gone 20 years and 140 games without a win.
