VIDEO: Sincere joy! Watch San Marino footballers celebrate after scoring a competitive goal after two years

San Marino scored again on Tuesday after almost a year, and after two years, a goal in a competitive match. Watch the unadulterated joy of the footballers as they ran onto the pitch in celebration.

San Marino footballers are football midgets on the international stage and any success in the form of a goal scored is considered a celebration for them.

Their last points haul dates back to 2020, when they played a goalless home game against Gibraltar in the Nations League. A month before that, they also took a point for a draw with Liechtenstein.

Before that draw, they had waited six years to get points, the last time they played a goalless draw against Estonia.

Last year, they faced Seychelles and Saint Lucia in their preliminary matches and managed to draw both matches against the latter national team.

As far as competitive matches are concerned, the last time San Marino managed to score a goal was in September 2021, when they eased their heavy defeat against Poland to 1:7.

In Tuesday’s clash with Denmark in the European Championship qualifying fights, San Marino’s players put in a great performance and even with twenty minutes to go, they were still nurturing hopes of a huge sensation.

San Marino fought back unexpectedly and shocked their opponents with a 60th minute equaliser scored by Alessandro Golinucci.

In the final twenty minutes, however, the Danes averted the sensation and the embarrassment thanks to Yussuf Poulsen, taking all three points to the north of Europe.
