Liechtenstein and Gibraltar clashed in an exciting UEFA Nations League match on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at the Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. This encounter was part of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign, with both teams seeking to improve their standings in Group D1.
Liechtenstein, managed by Konrad Funfstuck, came into the match looking to build on their recent morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Hong Kong in a friendly match. Veteran midfielder Nicolas Hasler had scored the decisive goal in that match, and the team hoped to carry that momentum into the Nations League game.
Gibraltar, under the guidance of Julio Ribas, were on a strong run, having secured their first win of the 2024-25 Nations League campaign with a 1-0 victory over San Marino just days before. Gibraltar had not lost in their last four matches, including friendly games, and were aiming to secure back-to-back victories for the first time since November 2022.
The head-to-head record between the two teams showed Gibraltar with a slight edge, having won three out of the six previous meetings, while Liechtenstein had managed only one win and two draws.
The match itself was closely contested, reflecting the teams’ recent form and the importance of the game in the Nations League standings. The outcome was expected to be tight, with predictions leaning towards a draw given the historical context and recent performances of both teams.
The Rheinpark Stadion, known for its electric atmosphere, hosted the match, and fans from both sides were eager to see their teams secure crucial points in the competition.
