Overview

  • Che Adams put Scotland ahead around the 15th minute at Hampden Park.
  • Two major VAR calls went Scotland’s way, with Evgeni Malashevich’s leveller overturned for a foul and a later Belarus finish ruled offside.
  • Scott McTominay struck the winner with six minutes left to seal the points.
  • Belarus netted a stoppage-time consolation through Hleb Kuchko as Scotland moved to 10 points and the provisional lead in Group C.
  • A Denmark home win over Greece later would guarantee Scotland at least a play-off place, though the Danes could also retake top spot.
