Stadio Olimpico di
Serravalle, Serravalle, San Marino
World Cup Qualifier
San Marino 0-6
Montenegro
As expected San Marino started their World Cup campaign with
a defeat at home to a decent Montenegro side, losing 6-0.
San Marino even had the chance to take the lead in this one, a rarity indeed. But of course it was the goals at the other end that came soon enough. They seemed to come in bursts, with two first half
concessions within two minutes of each other midway through the first
half. A third was added not long after
half-time but then it seems the fitness levels of the professionals told more
and more a three more were added late on.
As such it’s not a totally disheartening defeat for San
Marino, although the downside is that there was never much prospect of a goal
being scored. It’s going to be a long
hard slog for San Marino. This is just
the first of many expected tonkings and sets the benchmark for how their future
results in this campaign will be measured.
