Overview
- Scott McTominay opened the scoring after three minutes with a spectacular overhead kick at Hampden Park.
- Denmark leveled through a Rasmus Hojlund penalty, Lawrence Shankland restored Scotland’s lead, and Patrick Dorgu equalised again before Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean won it in stoppage time, McLean scoring from the halfway line.
- Denmark finished with 10 men after Rasmus Kristensen was sent off, and a draw that would have qualified them turned into defeat.
- Manager Steve Clarke praised his players and support, saying fans “could smell magic,” and called McTominay’s strike the best overhead kick he has seen.
- Celebrations swept Scotland on and offline, while John McGinn briefly missed dressing-room scenes for a drugs test and Denmark’s Joachim Andersen blasted his team’s results as “laughable” and “ridiculous.”
