Scotland claimed a 4-2 victory over Denmark in World Cup qualifying, a result that belied the visitors' dominance in chance creation. Denmark's 4-2-3-1 setup generated 18 shots and an expected goals tally of 2.49, yet managed only three on target as Scotland's goalkeeper proved a crucial barrier, posting a 20 per cent save percentage despite conceding 4.0 post-shot expected goals. The hosts, deployed in 4-1-4-1, were far more clinical, converting their limited opportunities effectively; Scott McTominay among the scorers as Scotland's five shots on target from 1.67 xG proved devastatingly efficient. Rasmus Hojlund and Patrick Dorgu netted for Denmark, but their superior possession and shooting volume could not overcome Scotland's defensive resolve and ruthless finishing. Referee Szymon Marciniak oversaw a competitive encounter that highlighted Scotland's capacity to frustrate and punish on the break. Scotland's clinical finishing suggests growing attacking potency in the qualifying campaign.
