FIFA's lowest-ranked San Marino promoted in NL


World football’s lowest ranked national team San Marino clinched promotion to Nations League C with a 3-1 comeback victory at Group D1 rivals Liechtenstein on Monday.

Goals from Lorenzo Lazzari just after the break, Nicola Nanni in the 66th minute and Alessandro Golinucci 10 minutes later followed Liechtenstein’s first-half opener from Aron Sele.

San Marino, with only their second competitive win ever, finished top with seven points, one above Gibraltar, while Liechtenstein are bottom with two points after four games.

San Marino, bottom of FIFA’s world rankings at 210, won their first ever competitive match by beating Liechtenstein 1-0 in the reverse fixture in September, 20 years since their only other victory in a friendly also against Liechtenstein.
