International career
Benjamin Fischer nearly made history when, in the final qualifier for World Cup 2006 in Germany against Portugal, who needed a point to qualify, he scored a 32nd minute opening goal. However Liechtenstein were unable to keep their lead, with a Pauleta equaliser and an 85th minute Nuno Gomes winner turning the game on its head for a second time.
