‘We scored a f***ing goal’ – San Marino score rare goal sparking hilarious reaction from minnows’ Twitter fan account

The European minnows, based in the tiny microstate within Italy, faced Lithuania in a friendly on Friday night at the San Marino Stadium.

And despite trailing 2-0 at half-time, Fabrizio Constantini's side came out fighting after the break and scored thanks to Filippo Fabbri.

Fabbri, 20, is a defender for Forli in Italy's fourth tier Serie D but turned up at the other end to find the back of the net.

The goal sparked crazy scenes, especially on a fan account when they held on to win the second half and almost found a dramatic equaliser.
