By In a pivotal Group A match at Euro 2024, Scotland kept their knockout round aspirations intact with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland. The Scottish team showed significant improvement from their previous defeat and took the lead with Scott McTominay’s goal, which deflected off Fabian Schar. The Swiss response was swift, with Xherdan Shaqiri equalizing with a superb strike.
The second half was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams having chances to secure the win. Angus Gunn’s goalkeeping heroics for Scotland and Grant Hanley’s near-miss from a set-piece were among the notable moments. Despite a strong defensive display, Scotland had a tense moment when Zeki Amdouni missed a late opportunity for Switzerland.
With just one point after two matches, Scotland sits behind Switzerland in the group standings. However, a win against Hungary could potentially propel them into the knockout phase as one of the best third-placed teams. Unfortunately, Scotland will be without defender Kieran Tierney for their decisive match due to injury.
