Scotland Stun Denmark At Home
Scotland secured a well-deserved spot in the World Cup play-off semi-finals as goals from John Souttar and Che Adams stunned Denmark with a thrilling performance on home turf at Hampden Park.
Scotland started with real intent, being aided by the thundering sounds of the packed stands, as they began at a frenetic pace.
Steve Clarke's Group F runners-up needed at least a point against the runaway leaders to give themselves a chance of a home draw.
However, Denmark survived the early pressure to create the first chance after 10 minutes and remind Scotland of their threat.
But centre-half Souttar headed home in his first Scotland game since being sent off in a 2018 defeat by Israel and striker Adams burst clear to settle growing nerves after 86 minutes.
Scotland had narrowly edged it after a couple of nervy results in the qualifiers but found some renaissance and left it late in the closing stages before that breakaway goal secured a sixth competitive victory in succession for the first time since winning six Home Nations matches in a row between March 1928 and February 1930.
The victory ended Denmark's six-game winning run since losing 2-1 to England at the semi-final stage of the Euro 2020 finals this summer and ensured they fell short of ending their qualification campaign with a 100% record.
