The football world anticipated San Marino’s clash with Saint Kitts and Nevis as the microstate aimed to end a 20-year winless streak. Despite a strong start with Filippo Berardi scoring a penalty to put San Marino ahead, they were unable to maintain their lead.
Tyquan Terrell and Andre Burley’s goals before half-time, followed by Harry Panayiotou’s goal in the second half, secured a 3-1 victory for Saint Kitts and Nevis. San Marino, ranked as the worst national team by FIFA, has struggled in international football, losing 192 of the 201 games it had contested before this match. Despite recent goals against strong teams like Denmark, San Marino’s quest for a win continues.
Their captain, Matteo Vitaioli, who made his debut 17 years ago, is yet to experience a victory but remains hopeful. The match will be repeated on Sunday, giving San Marino another chance to make history and secure their long-awaited win.
