San Marino's goal against Romania, straight into history! The first time something like this has happened

The first had also come against Romania, but in the round match. Then, the “tricolori” won away, score 5-1. But Giacopetti's success tonight has a special meaning for the little national team.

The first time in history that the San Marino national team has achieved something like this

The “Tricolori” started the game in Ploiești extremely badly. Giacopetti escaped alone with Târnovanu and beat the FCSB goalkeeper.

Until the break it was 3-1 for Romania, but Giacopetti's success will be remembered for a long time from now on by the visitors.

The reason? It is the first time in history that San Marino scores the first goal of the evening in World Cup qualifiers. Nine other games were played this evening.

Moreover, it is the first goal in 8 (EIGHT) years scored away from home in a World Cup qualifier.

San Marino conceded 37 goals in Group H of the preliminaries. 10 were collected in just one match, against Austria.

I expected a draw at half-time because these kind of small teams know the ABC of football. These young men were juniors around San Marino. They probably didn't want to continue this career, they saw their profession, their studies, but they know the ABC's.

As far as the physical part allows them, they can cause problems. What is tragic and debatable is that they have conceded 34 goals so far in this group and conceded two, both against Romania.

It's a question mark. They are tired, I expect we will give them another 4-5. I expect the muscles to swell on some and others that we have great value that we beat 8-1 or whatever the final score will be this amateur team.
