Notably, he scored a late equalizer for San Marino against the Republic of Ireland on 7 February 2007. 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.
