"Scott McTominay's superb overhead kick propelled Scotland into an early lead, with Steve Clarke's team knowing only a win would be enough to see them top Group C. Yet that was Scotland's only attempt of the first half, with Denmark having 10 going the other way, and the pressure finally told after the break. Referee Szymon Marciniak adjudged Andy Robertson to have fouled Gustav Isaksen on the line of the Scotland box after a VAR check, and Rasmus Hojlund duly hammered home the spot-kick."
"Back in the big time Scotland's long wait is over. They will feature at the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. The two goals that did it both came from outside the area. It is the first time Scotland have scored two goals from outside the penalty area for the first time since June 2017. Tierney's strike was just his second for Scotland, with his first coming in March 2022."
Scotland sealed World Cup qualification for the first time since 1998 with a 4-2 win over ten-man Denmark at Hampden Park. Scott McTominay opened the scoring with a superb overhead kick after an otherwise quiet first half in which Scotland had only one attempt and Denmark had ten. Denmark levelled from a penalty after a VAR-reviewed foul on Gustav Isaksen, and Rasmus Kristensen was sent off for a second yellow. Lawrence Shankland restored the lead from a corner, Patrick Dorgu equalised, then Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean scored dramatic long-range goals in stoppage time to secure victory.
