In the early morning of March 29, Beijing time, in the second round of Group A of the European Cup qualifiers, Spain lost 0-2 away to Scotland, 1 win and 1 loss in the first two rounds, and Scotland won two consecutive games to rank first in the group. Scott McTominay scored twice, scoring four goals in the first two European qualifiers, with Joselu and McKim hitting the crossbar.
Match highlights
Scott McTominay has scored four goals in the last two European qualifiers to equalise Cristiano Ronaldo, second only to Danish striker Heylund, who has scored just one goal in his first 37 games for Scotland. Since Northern Ireland striker Healy (hat-trick) in 2006, the United midfielder is the first player to score two goals in a single match against Spain in two qualifying matches for the World Cup or European Championship.
