Scotland showed their appreciation to their fans by applauding them after the match. Their supporters returned the love. Although their previous match against Germany was weak, their performance tonight was commendable. Scott McTominay scored a goal during the first half and the only goal against them came from Xherdan Shaqiri's moment of genius. Although Zeki Amdouni had a chance to win the game for Switzerland in the last minute of regulation time, it's hard not to say that Scotland didn't deserve at least a draw. They played an attacking game in the second half and although they couldn't obtain a victory, they secured an important point which could lead them to reach the knockout stage of an international tournament for the first time. See for yourself!

Scotland And Switzerland Draw 1-1 Full Time

The referee blows the whistle, and Steve Clarke makes a little victory gesture. Scotland has recovered from their initial difficulties and are still in contention in Group A!

In the 90th minute plus three, Amdouni headed a long ball down the center, hoping to set Embolo free. However, Gunn had to come out of his box to claim it. He half-slipped on the way, which scared everyone in Scotland.

In a football match that lasted for 90 minutes and two additional minutes, McGregor made a smart move by passing the ball diagonally towards Robertson on the left side of the six-yard box. Robertson then cleverly headed the ball across the goal to set up Shankland for a possible goal. Unfortunately, Akanji stepped in at the right moment to clear the ball, preventing Shankland from scoring. It was an impressive move from Akanji that saved his team from a possible loss. Shankland was so close to scoring that he was already preparing to celebrate his goal.

In 90 minutes of gameplay, Rieder passed the ball over to the far post where Amdouni was waiting just six yards out. This was a perfect opportunity for Amdouni to score, but unfortunately, he missed the header and it went wide left. This was a huge miss for the team. After this, Scotland decided to substitute Adams and McGinn for Shankland and Christie. The game will have an additional four minutes of play time.

In the 89th minute, Robertson recklessly and pointlessly tackles Rieder on the Swiss right side. This gives Switzerland an opportunity to take a free kick and put the ball in the penalty area. All players position themselves at the border of the box and wait for the ball to come in...

After 87 minutes of play, Hendry took a hopeful shot from far away, but Sommer was able to catch it without much difficulty.

In the 86th minute, Amdouni and Stergiou come on for Widmer and Ndoye.

After 85 minutes of play, Sierro made a late and inappropriate tackle on Adams, resulting in the referee giving Sierro a yellow card.

After 84 minutes, Scotland has put in a lot of effort and tried their best. During the second half, they were the more active team and took charge since the game resumed.

The match is in its 82nd minute, and Scotland is currently in a bad spot! A straightforward pass is made, and Embolo suddenly has open space to move forward! He smoothly approaches Gunn, tricks him by chipping the soccer ball into the net, but the referee raises the flag right after due to an offside violation. Watching everything, it's evident that the official made the right call. You can add this as an example of an Emotional Rollercoaster in your collection of overused phrases.

At 81 minutes, McTominay is seen jumping for joy at some good news, before almost scoring his second goal! He begins an impressive attack by dribbling with immense power down the middle, and with some great coordination by Robertson on the left, and a quick knock-back from Ralston on the right, he positions himself perfectly to take an ambitious shot in the style of Zidane in the 2002 Champions League final. The ball is unfortunately blocked by Adams, causing Scotland to have a momentary hope-come-true.

The authorities at Uefa have declared that the first goal scorer for Scotland is Scott McTominay, after 80 minutes of play. This decision seems reasonable, but let's not forget about Own Goal, who previously held the record for being Scotland's highest goal scorer in European Championship finals. He must be feeling a bit left out now.

After playing for 79 minutes, Gilmour is substituted for Kenny McLean.

In the 78th minute, Ndoye swiftly moves towards the center of the field from the left, leaving Ralston behind without any effort. He reaches the penalty area and takes a shot that goes over the bar from a fair angle. It was a great chance he had created for himself, and he could have done better by at least making the goalkeeper, Gunn, work for it.

After 76 minutes, Scotland is on the attack and really wants to score the winning goal more than Switzerland does. McKenna gets a corner from the left side of the field. The ball gets passed between players' heads a few times. During this, Gilmour falls on the ground because he collided with Widmer, but both players were at fault, so there shouldn't be a penalty. Later, McKenna fouls Embolo, which relieves the pressure on the Swiss team.

In 75 minutes, Switzerland decided to opt for a substitution by bringing in Sierro and Rieder in place of Freuler and Vargas for a double change.

After 74 minutes, McGinn was hit by Freuler on the left side which resulted in him being the victim. Afterwards, a free kick was taken but unfortunately, McKenna's header went over the goal and did not cause any harm.

After 72 minutes of the game, McGinn appeared and was a week behind on Schar's moves. He kicked his opponent so hard that he flew into the air like a cheerleader's baton. It was a funny but also reckless move, and McGinn was obviously going to receive a booking for it.

After 70 minutes of play, the Hampden stadium let out a collective sigh as Robertson was unable to get the ball past the first defender.

In the 69th minute, McGinn and Gilmour work together to locate Ralston on the right side. Ralston tries to make a cross, but ultimately has to settle for a corner kick. The crowd at Hampden is audible all the way in Cologne as Robertson heads over to take it. Liz White explains that if McTominay manages to assist a goal, he will have himself a Gordie Howe hat trick- which is a term Canadians use to describe a player scoring a goal, getting into a fight or receiving a yellow card, and then assisting a goal.

After 68 minutes, McKenna was given a yellow card for a sneaky move on Embolo. They both had a hold of each other's shirt, but since Embolo was the one trying to advance, he was more likely to get the call in his favor.

After 67 minutes of play, Robertson stepped up for a free kick and delivered a brilliant ball towards the box. Hanley challenged Schar and managed to head the ball towards the left bottom corner. However, the ball unfortunately hit the post and rebounded through the six-yard box without anyone being able to take advantage of it. Scotland was very unlucky not to score from such a great opportunity.

In the 65th minute of the game, Gilmour confidently moves forward into an open area on the field and takes a powerful shot from far away. Unfortunately, Akanji successfully blocks the shot. However, Scotland quickly regains possession and McTominay is knocked over just to the right of the penalty box by Akanji. This results in a free kick in a highly advantageous position for Scotland.

Vargas seems to have Ralston under control after 64 minutes of play. He approaches from the left-hand side and aims for the upper right corner. His shot goes over the goalpost, but not by a significant margin. The Swiss team seems to have the upper hand in this match.

At the 62nd minute mark, Tierney was being moved on a stretcher and Steve Clarke approached him to give a friendly pat on the head. Tierney appeared worried as he knew the injury was not good. Let's hope for a positive outcome and that the injury is not as severe as it seems. However, it could be wishful thinking to believe that.

After Scotland handled the situation, Switzerland subbed out Shaqiri, who had scored a goal, and put in the formidable Breel Embolo.

After 60 minutes of the game, it was Tierney who Ndoye got away from, resulting in him falling down and signaling for assistance. Unfortunately, Ndoye has injured his hamstring and will be substituted by Scott McKenna. He had to be taken off on a stretcher, and it’s highly likely that he will miss out on the Euro 2024.

In the 58th minute of the game, Scotland almost conceded a goal due to a straightforward pass down the center of the pitch. Ndoye easily outmaneuvered Hendry and attempted a shot towards the lower left corner, but Gunn made a great save by pushing the ball out of bounds. The Scottish team was fortunate not to have allowed a goal at that moment because the attempt by the opposing team was very close to being successful.

In the 56th minute, Vargas attempts a shot from a distance of 25 yards, which is effortlessly saved by Gunn. Scotland has not done much since the game resumed, resulting in their fans singing the loudest version of Flower of Scotland since before the match began.

After 55 minutes of play, Ralston believed that Ndoye caused him to fall but in reality, he did not and his fall resulted in an easy corner for the opposing team. Ndoye signaled to the referee that there was no foul play. Fortunately for Scotland, they were able to defend against the corner and prevent any goals from being scored.

After 53 minutes, the fans of both teams are being very supportive. The players are also putting in a lot of effort, but it's affecting the quality of the game at this point.

In just 51 minutes, McGinn gave Akanji a push while in the air, causing Akanji to fall backwards. Though he remained on the ground, no whistle was blown and Scotland continued to play. However, the referee eventually stopped the game during Scotland's offensive. Akanji was okay, but Scotland was furious and McTominay received a booking for confronting the referee.

In under an hour of the game, McGinn tries to move past Schar through the left of the field and is forcibly stopped. Schar gets lucky as he doesn't receive a booking, but the referees award a free kick. Scotland then fills up the penalty area, but Robertson fails to make a good delivery as he hits it directly into the first defender. It was a huge missed opportunity.

After 47 minutes of play, McTominay used his head to clear a corner, but it was short-lived as Vargas regained possession and won another corner. Shaqiri took this corner quickly, crossing the ball into the box. However, Hendry attempted a clearance but unfortunately headed the ball over his own goalpost. It seemed like it was going to be a third corner, but the offside flag was raised, indicating an offside position.

After 46 minutes of playtime, Widmer navigates down the right side of the field and secures Switzerland their sixth corner kick of the game. Shaqiri will be the one to take it.

The second half of the game between Switzerland and Scotland has started, and there were no substitutions made. According to Kári Tulinius, Scotland has not played its best, but the score remains the same. However, Scotland has not shown its full potential in this tournament, which may be a cause for concern. Therefore, Steve Clarke, the coach of Scotland, needs to find a way to motivate his team.

Scotland And Switzerland Tied At The Half

For a brief moment of 13 minutes, Scotland was in the lead, and it was an exhilarating experience. Steve Clarke and his team battled admirably against their more skillful opponents.

After 45 minutes plus two added minutes, the first half ended with a gradual decrease in intensity.

After 45 minutes of play, the match referee has signaled that the game will continue for an additional three minutes.

In the last 44 minutes of the game, it appeared that Ndoye was extremely close to being in an offside position before scoring. Initially, it seemed as though he was significantly offside as he received Akanji's header. However, Hendry was positioned rather deeply in the center of the field. It was only an inch or two that prevented Scotland from conceding a goal. Nevertheless, being in an offside position is still being offside.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Ndoye advances towards the left and then passes the ball back to Xhaka. Without wasting any time, Xhaka aims for the top-right corner of the net. However, Gunn reacts quickly and saves the shot, preventing any danger for his team.

41 minutes have passed when McTominay kicks the ball quite far. Adams jumps at the far end but unfortunately cannot hit the ball properly. Sommer collects the ball.

After 40 minutes of play, Tierney attempts a long ball to Robertson on the left side. Akanji is put into a position where he has no choice but to clear it out for a corner, resulting in Scotland's third corner opportunity.

After 38 minutes, Hendry managed to score with a header, but unfortunately, the whistle blew, and the pressure on the Swiss was relieved. This was due to the excessive pushing and shoving during the play.

In the 37th minute of the game, Adams showed great determination, which bothered Rodriguez and caused him to lose possession. After that, Freuler knocked him down from behind, resulting in a free kick being given 30 yards away from the goal towards the right side. McTominay was tasked with taking the free kick and crossing it into the goal area.

It's been 36 minutes and Scotland seems to have calmed down a bit. They're passing the ball around in the middle of the field. However, let's not get too excited. One of our readers, Simon McMahon, feels like he might need to drink more than just one glass of whiksey before the first half ends. In fact, he thinks he might end up eating a lot of Toblerone by the end of the game, just like how Alan Partridge enjoys his chocolate.

After 34 minutes of play, Gilmour tries to push past Xhaka but is knocked down. He believes he deserves a free kick, but the referee disagrees. Peter Oh congratulates Scotland's top scorer, mentioning that it's refreshing to see an OG (original gangster) receive recognition, especially with so many younger players getting all the attention lately.

After 33 minutes of play, Scotland managed to clear the corner. Akanji returned the ball with his head, and Ndoye gained possession, making a roundabout way to avoid Gunn who was roaming around, and shot the ball into the unprotected net. However, the offside flag was raised, which was the right decision. There was also a possibility that a player used their hand, but the offside decision made Scottish hearts skip a beat for a moment.

In 32 minutes of the game, Vargas takes the ball towards the Scottish defence through the left side of the field. He passes it to Ndoye who was moving fast on the same side. Ndoye then skillfully gets past McGregor and shoots the ball towards the top right corner. But, Gunn, the goalkeeper, shows great reflexes and stops the ball with a strong arm, forcing it to go out of play. As a result, the opposing team gets a corner kick.

At the 31st minute, Gilmour commences a sprint towards the right side of the field but is swiftly brought down by Rodriguez with a slide-tackle. Consequently, Rodriguez receives a yellow card.
