San Marino Win Sends Twitter Fan Account Admin Into State Of Pandemonium After Historic Victory
A shock San Marino win against Liechtenstein in the first round of 2024/25 UEFA Nations League fixtures saw the minnows’ Twitter fan account admin finally celebrate a much-needed victory.
After 20 years and 140 games, La Serenissima created history as they won for the first time since April 2004. More significantly, it was the nation’s first ever competitive victory after 34 years of trying.
Naturally, this saw the fan account admin deliver a series of posts that had long been coming. They were able to electrify the social media platform thanks to Nicko Sensoli’s goal in a 1-0 win.
San Marino Win Against Liechtenstein Creates History
Not only did a San Marino win send shockwaves through the world, they are also top of their UEFA Nations League group. Granted, only one game has been played and rivals Gibraltar are yet to feature.
However, try telling that to the admin. The gifted story teller really captured the key moments of the match and for a while, it looked like it would be the same story for San Marino.
A bright start was almost ruined when the visitors had the ball in the back of the net. The referee came to the rescue when the goal was ruled out for offside.
Shortly into the second-half, all hell broke loose as teenager Nicko Sensoli put the hosts in front. La Serenissima were able to hold on to send the crowd and admin into a state of delirium.
Despite the famous victory, the European minnows are still the lowest ranked team by FIFA. Nonetheless, try telling that to the fan account admin.
