San Marino claimed their first clean sheet away from home
It took six years and 36 games, but the San Marino of European football has finally managed to score a point.
And the Nations League’s goalless draw with minnows Liechtenstein (both countries have populations of less than 40,000 people) also saw them score their first clean sheet away from home in their 30-year history.
You have to go back to 2014 for their previous point, a 1-1 draw against Estonia, while their most recent draw away from home in a competitive match was in 2001 against Latvia.
Your record now says won: one, drawn: 4, lost: 162.
Mighty Liechtenstein’s record, meanwhile, is won: 17, drawn: 26, lost: 158
The Sammarinese scored the famous opening goal in a 7-1 win by England when Graham Taylor’s team failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup.
