Scenes.

San Marino are a side we only know too well in these parts having faced them in a few football qualifiers over the years. But even when they scored against us in 2007 we didn't see celebrations like this. The tiny tiny country endured a hammering by England at the weekend but tonight they are holding onto a 1-1 draw with Lithunaia thanks to a wonderful free-kick. Their last away goals came against Liechtenstein in a 2-2 draw in an international friendly in 2003, while they haven't scored a competitive away goal since a 1-1 draw with Latvia in 2001. As befitting a team that hasn't hit the net in over 12 years away from home, the celebrations were pretty wild tonight https://twitter.com/DanWrexham/status/641342678697795584 The San Marino Twitter account's reaction was something else too sm 2 sm 1 sm 3 The rest of the internet also loved it https://twitter.com/br_uk/status/641342216753971200 https://twitter.com/Bookieinsiders/status/641340615892992000 The fairytale may have come to an end though as Lithuania may just have scored the winner and now lead 2-1. https://twitter.com/Wheddsta/status/641349218305638400
