If you've ever watched Andorra's national football team in action, chances are you caught them on the end of a pummelling from one of the larger European nations.
The micro-state only played its first official international match in 1996, and their one and only competitive win came against Macedonia in 2004.
Of their small handful of victories, not a single one had come away from home...until tonight.
Andorra travelled to San Marino for a friendly, a match which can be described as a clash of whatever the opposite of titans is.

They knew that their best chance of an away win would come in the meeting with a team which has not avoided defeat since 2015, and so it proved, with Ildefons Lima and Cristian Martínez finding the net in a landmark 2-0 victory.

Lima's goal saw him extend his record as Andorra's highest ever goalscorer with a huge *eleven* goals in more than 100 international appearances.
They will enter their next World Cup qualifier - a home meeting with the Faroe Islands - with plenty of confidence. Still, perhaps they shouldn't - they've lost all four of their qualifying games so far, scoring one goal and conceding 13.
