Scotland began his World Cup 2026 Qualification campaign decisively with a draw against the favorites of Group C in Denmark in Parken on Friday.
Scott McTominay approached the visitors five minutes after the pause when the Naples midfielder’s shot forced a good savings by Celtic Kasper Schmeichel’s goalkeeper, and Lyndon Dykes turned an excellent opportunity to leave inside the box after Che Adams’s passage on the right gave the city of Birmingham to the city of Birmingham.
Denmark, the only defeat of his last 18 home games has been against European champions Spain, threatened by efforts from a distance by Anders Dreyer and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, while Max Johnston in Scotland was awarded not to have denied a clear goal opportunity after a video warning set in the defender’s handball during the second half.
Scotland is in action in Belarus on Monday (19:45 BST / 14:45 ET / 11:45 PT). Denmark is at the same time in Greece, who won his workshop 5-1 at home in his white wings.
