From not winning a game in 20 years to achieving Nations League promotion.
San Marino can dream about life in the dizzying heights of League C after they came from behind to beat Liechtenstein 3-1.

Aron Sele put Liechtenstein ahead in the 40th minute, but whatever half-time pep talk San Marino manager Roberto Cevoli gave his side, it certainly worked.
Lorenzo Lazzari equalised within 50 seconds of the restart with a cool finish after he made a darting run between Liechtenstein's centre-backs.
San Marino then went ahead in the 66th minute when Nicola Nanni sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Alessandro Golinucci bagged San Marino's third ten minutes later, securing the microstate's biggest win in their history with their first international taking place in 1987.
The victory also means San Marino finish top of League D Group 1 with seven points, one point ahead of Gibraltar.
It was also San Marino's second victory in their last six games, with their last triumph, coincidentally against Liechtenstein, ending an agonising 20-year wait for a win.
