Overview of the match Scotland - Spain:
Scotland claimed a surprise victory over Spain at Hampden Park In a thrilling Eurocup qualifying match at Hampden Park, Scotland defeated their Spanish counterparts 1-0 at halftime and 2-0 in regulation time. This match had everything a soccer fan can expect: amazing goals, yellow cards and substitutions that kept everyone in suspense until the last minute. The game started with Scotsman S. McTominay scoring a fantastic goal in the 7th minute to put Scotland ahead in the match. However, it was not easy for the Scottish team as Spain fought hard to equalize. In the first half, Scotland's A. Robertson and L. Dykes were awarded yellow cards. The second half began with two quick substitutions from Spain, M. Oyarzabal and P. Porro replacing N. Williams and D. Carvajal respectively.
But their efforts, unfortunately, were in vain, as in the 51st minute Scottish S. McTominay scored again, providing a much-needed second goal for his team. Spain tried to turn the situation around by making a few substitutions, but the Scottish defense held firm and Spaniard Joselu was unable to hit the goal. Even the substitution of D. Seballos in the 79th minute did not help change the situation. The game was marred by several yellow cards - D. Carvajal and I. Aspas (Spain), A. Robertson and S. McTominay (Scotland) were penalized for their behavior. In an effort to preserve its advantage, Scotland made three last minute substitutions: L. Dykes was replaced by L. Shankland on 89 minutes. This substitution was justified when L. Shankland almost scored the third goal but his shot hit the crossbar. In the end, Scotland's tenacity and persistence paid off with a surprise win over Spain, securing their place in EURO 2022. The match was a testament to the unpredictability of soccer, showing that anything can happen on the pitch any day. Soccer fans got a chance to watch an exciting match that will be remembered for a long time.
