FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Scotland seal spot after 26 years; Spain jump to top spot with nervy draw
The Statesman Kolkata
|November 20, 2025
Scotland ended a 26-year wait for a World Cup berth in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, scoring twice in stoppage time to beat Denmark 4-2 ona thunderous night at Hampden Park and seal their place at the 2026 finals.
What had been a hair-raising qualifying campaign delivered its wildest twist at the death, sending the stadium into scenes of delirium not seen in Glasgow for decades.
With the score locked at 2-2 and 10-man Denmark seemingly poised to clinch the point they needed to win Group C, substitute Kieran Tierney stepped up in the third minute of stoppage time. When the ball broke to him on the edge of the box, he looked up and curled a sublime left-footed finish past a diving Kasper Schmeichel, sparking an eruption in the stands and on the touchline.
