Historic feat for UEFA’s smallest nation 🔥 | OneFootball

That deserves a public holiday.

This week marked the second day of the Conference League. Apart from the fabulous goal by Joaquin Panichelli with Strasbourg, another remarkable feat took place.

Designed to allow smaller nations to shine on the European stage, the C4 fulfilled its role this Thursday.

Heading to Gibraltar, the smallest country in UEFA, which experienced a true day of celebration thanks to the Lincoln Red Imps.

Facing the Polish team Lech Poznan, the Red Imps allowed Gibraltar to secure its first victory in the European Cup, outside of playoffs, by winning 2-1.

To understand what this achievement means, the territory has 39,000 inhabitants, does not have any fully professionalized club, and until Thursday, the Lincoln Red Imps had lost each of their six matches in the Conference League.

Will they manage to extend the celebration by reaching the knockout stage?
