In a thrilling encounter in Group C of the European qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Scotland triumphed over a heavily-struggled Danish side, clinching a 4-2 victory, despite Denmark being reduced to ten men. The spotlight shone brightest on Scott McTominay, who electrified the match with a stunning bicycle kick just three minutes into the game.
McTominay’s moment of brilliance came after Ben Gannon-Doak delivered a high cross from the right flank. Positioned near the penalty spot, he executed a flawless scissor kick that caught everyone off guard and sent the ball soaring into the net.
Scotland’s achievement resonated beyond the pitch, drawing praise from sports icons like tennis great Andy Murray, who took to X to express his awe: “What on earth was that. McTominay, you wee dancer!”
As the dust settles, the stakes remain high; the victor of this match stands poised to secure an automatic spot in the World Cup from Group C.
