Scotland 2-0 Spain
In this game, Spain possessed more than 70% of the ball, but did not score a single goal, while Scotland patiently counterattacked, they also caught the opponent's 2 mistakes, and finally McTominay scored 2 goals in a row, creating a miracle at home.
In the 7th minute of the first half, the Spanish defender slipped at the back of the field, then Robertson took the ball, he directly inverted the triangle to the middle, Scott McTominay arrived and pushed the goal with his first foot, Scotland led 1-0 early.
In the 51st minute, Scotland crossed after breaking through on the left flank, the Spaniard missed the ball far and Scott McTominay volleyed directly to help his team seal the score at 2-0. On this national team breakday, Scott McTominay scored four goals in two games, and he seems to have developed a knack for helping Scotland win two in a row, and if Scottish can bring his form to Manchester United, then Ten Hag will not have to worry about the back.
At the end of the first two rounds, Scotland are first with six points, while Spain are second with one win and one defeat. With the top two in the group stage qualified directly, it can be said that the Scotland team is in a good situation now, and they have a good chance of reaching the main stage of next year's European Championship.

It was a highlight match for the group's place in the group, with Turkey first in the first place with three points, but not a single point against Croatia, a top four team in the World Cup. Thanks to Kovacic's two first-half goals, Croatia won 2-0.
In the other match of the group, Wales beat Latvia 1-0 at home. As of now, this group points are in disarray.
