Dante Rossi broke down in tears during a post-match interview following San Marino’s draw with Gibraltar, but was able to dedicate the unlikely result to the whole nation.
San Marino have been European football’s whipping boys for years, but the draw at home to Gibraltar - which came despite the team playing for most of the second half with 10 men following the sending off of Davide Simoncini - was their second in succession in the Nations League, following an identical 0-0 scoreline against Liechtenstein in October.
Centre-back Rossi was particularly pleased with back-to-back clean sheets, so much so that he broke down in tears during his interview.
