San Marino, more joy in Nations League: 92nd minute equalizer
A new, great satisfaction that leaves all scenarios open.
San Marino continues to enjoy a path in the Nations League that however it goes è already historic, but that could in perspective become even more so for the national selection of the Titan. In the home match against Gibraltar, in fact, a 1-1 in extremis arrived, thanks to the penalty scored by Nicola Nanni at 92'. And in this way, after the historic victory over Liechtenstein, promotion to League C è still possible.
The match in Serravalle ignited almost immediately, with Gibraltar’s lead signed at 11'11; by a Walker penalty. San Marino però believes in it and throws itself into the attack. There is no shortage of bad luck: Lazzari hits a post, then è Nanni builds a chance for the equalizer. Banda, guest goalkeeper, è providential.
In the second half, however, San Marino initially trembled: De Barr came close to doubling for Gibraltar, Colombo saved everything by deflecting his conclusion over the crossbar. In full recovery then came the penalty kick for San Marino, which Nanni converted reopening the promotion dreams.
In fact, there are currently 4 points for San Marino, compared to 2 for Liechtenstein and 6 for Gibraltar (who però played an extra game). In the event of a further victory in Vaduz next Monday, passage into Nations League C would be arithmetic. A draw, on the other hand, would guarantee at least participation in the play-offs, while in the event of a defeat the D League will be confirmed.
