This means that Scotland, with 15 points, are now guaranteed to qualify for the next stage. Norway, who only have 10 points and one game left to play, cannot catch up to them.

If Norway had won, Scotland would have had to get at least one point in their upcoming games against Georgia and Norway, which will take place next month.

Spain's Gavi scored in the second half, which confirmed that Scotland had qualified for next year's tournament in Germany. Therefore, they did not have to play any more matches to secure their spot.

This implies that the Scottish football team has secured a spot in the European Championships for the second consecutive time, under the guidance of coach Steve Clarke, after triumphing in their previous five group games.

Their 2021 Euros appearance marked their first tournament since 1996, but they were unfortunately knocked out during the group stages.

Scotland has not played in the World Cup finals since 1998.

On Thursday, Spain retaliated against Scotland with a 2-0 triumph in Seville, after having been previously defeated 2-0 in Hampden Park last March. By moving to the top of the group, Spain secured their qualification with a superior goal difference.

Erling Haaland, the striker from Norway who scored the most goals in the Premier League last season, will not participate in the upcoming summer finals.
