Inside San Marino dressing room celebrations after first-ever competitive victory

San Marino, the world’s lowest-ranked national men’s football team, secured their first ever competitive win on Thursday night (5 September).

The tiny microstate surrounded by Italy, with a population of just 33,000 people, defeated Liechtenstein 1-0 in a Uefa Nations League clash.

Nicko Sensoli scored in the 53rd minute to give San Marino its historic triumph - triggering scenes of jubilation on the pitch and in the dressing room afterwards.

Footage shows players jumping around and chanting post-match, waving their shirts and bottles of alcohol around.

Their last win, in a friendly, came over Liechtenstein in April 2004 by the same scoreline.
