In the 63rd minute, the guests trailed 0:3 after the bright attacks of the Greeks. Tsolis’ long-range shot from about 30 meters, which hit the far nine, leaving the goalkeeper without a chance, was especially impressive.
However, already in the 70th minute, the intrigue was revived: crosses from McGinn and Robertson allowed Scotland to win two goals. In the 84th minute, Bakasetas left Greece in the minority, but despite an active attack, the guests never managed to equalize the score.
In the tournament standings of group C, the situation is as follows: Denmark – 11 points, Scotland – 10, Greece – 6, Belarus – 1. In the last round, Denmark and Scotland will play a face-to-face confrontation for the right to lead the group and ensure direct access to the 2026 World Cup. Greece, despite the sensational victory over the Scots, has already lost qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
