Scotland Secures Historic 2-0 Win Over Spain in Euro 2024 Qualifier
In one of the most astounding games of international football, Steve Clarke’s Scotland team recorded a historic 2-0 win over Spain in their Euro 2024 qualifier on Tuesday. Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was the man of the moment, scoring twice to help the hosts secure the crucial win and rise to the top of their qualifying group.
The night was a forgettable one for Spain, particularly for Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro, who endured a ropey first-half and was subbed at the break. Sportsmail takes a closer look at the performances from both sets of players after the intense game.
Scott McTominay Named Man of the Match for his Brace
Scotland’s (3-4-2-1) lineup was impressive, with the likes of Angus Gunn, Ryan Porteous, Grant Hanley, Kieran Tierney, and Aaron Hickey working tirelessly throughout the game. However, it was Scott McTominay’s stunning performance that earned him the title of man of the match. The Manchester United midfielder capped a glorious display in midfield with two goals to make it four in two games for his national team.
Spain’s (4-2-3-1) lineup, on the other hand, was a letdown, with only a few players showing flashes of brilliance. David Garcia, Pedro Porro, Yeremy Pino, and Mikel Oyarzabal all struggled to make an impact, while Joselu and Dani Ceballos’ performances fell short of expectations.
Steve Clarke’s Scotland side has made history by defeating Spain, securing their spot at the top of their qualifying group. The result will undoubtedly raise hopes that Scotland can finally qualify for a major international tournament, and the win may go down as one of their greatest ever.
