This is the fourth (own goal) for Malta. The other three were Federico (Portugal), Andreas Kereszturi (Hungary) and David Alaba (Austria).  6 – Malta coach Devis Mangia has equalled the record of six straight positive results, held by Sigfried Held. Both coaches recorded four wins and two draws. 43 – During the four encounters against Andorra, a total of 43 players were used by three different coaches (Josif Ilic, Sigfried Held and Devis Mangia) – they hailed from 13 different clubs. 90 – Valletta forward Shaun Dimech sealed Malta’s 3-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Andorra on Saturday. He became the 90th scorer for Malta and the 50th to score a goal for the national team.
