Career

Notably, he scored a late equalizer for San Marino against the Republic of Ireland on 7 February 2007. [2] The goal nearly earned San Marino what would have been their greatest result, namely their third score draw in a competitive match and their second against a high-ranking team (the first came against Turkey, second against Latvia). However, Stephen Ireland scored a winner for the visitors just seconds before the end of injury time. [2] He became the second player (out of 7) to score more than one goal for San Marino.
