SAN MARINO HAVE WON A FOOTBALL MATCH!!!!
No this is not ‘fake news’ or an April Fool’s joke in very bad taste, it’s the real life and also the fulfilment of a fantasy. 20 years from their last and first victory, a 1-0 friendly win over Liechtenstein, the world’s oldest republic has done repeated the feat!!
This time though the historic moment was a step up on 2004’s glory as this time they won in an actual competition, the Nation’s League.
Again the victims sacrificed to history on the slopes of Mount Titano were Liechtenstein but they would not fall to the same player’s strike.
Nicko Sensoli, the Creatore di storia primario at the Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle, wasn’t born till 2005.
His goal was just the 33rd in national history and propelled them to the top of their Nation’s League group, not to mention sending tsunamis of ecstasy reverberating across the world.
With the world seemingly careening down a collective suicide pact to disaster every year of the past decade, at least, it’s a welcome tonic of gargantuan proportions to have a teenage trailblazer igniting a beacon of hope.
The hope that if even the world’s worst footballing nation can overcome 2 decades of unrelenting failure to create a story of such momentous success then maybe, just maybe we can all overcome the traumas in our own lives.
Thursday 5th September 2024 will be forever known as the night of the Miracle on Mount Titano and Sensoli the Saint is the man responsible for that miracle, the Creatori di storia.
Nicklo Sensoli will forever more be a cult hero around the world and the patron saint of football forevermore in the world’s oldest republic, SAN MARINO
