June 3, 2021 Late Depay Free-Kick Earns Netherlands Draw Against Scotland

Depleted Scotland continued their Euro 2020 preparations in positive fashion, despite Memphis Depay's late free-kick denying them victory over the Netherlands in Portugal.

Shorn of seven players due to Covid-19 precautions, Steve Clarke's side defied any early concerns when Jack Hendry drilled in to cap a fine start.

Depay swept home a composed first-time shot to level, then arced in a stunning set piece in the final moments after substitute Kevin Nisbet scored with his first touch to restore Scotland's lead.

Clarke's side had looked set for a confidence-boosting victory in the absence of John Fleck, who returned a positive Covid test, and David Marshall, Stephen O'Donnell, Nathan Patterson, Grant Hanley, John McGinn and Che Adams, who were left at the training camp in Spain as a precaution.

But instead they move on to Sunday's friendly with Luxembourg after a 2-2 draw in the Algarve.
