Two going on four, five or six on good night for new Scotland era
Scotland scored twice in North Macedonia but the scoreline does not reflect their dominance in Skopje, writes Tom English.
In a Nations League match, Scotland defeated North Macedonia with a score of 2-0, securing Andy Robertson's 100th cap for the Scottish national team. The home team struggled, often appearing disengaged and unable to break through Scotland's defense. Scotland had significantly more shots on target, 10 to North Macedonia's zero, and touched the ball 37 times in North Macedonia's penalty area compared to just twice in Scotland's.
Scotland's energy and urgency proved too much for the North Macedonian team, who were unable to mount a serious challenge. The win was particularly significant for Robertson, who achieved his century of caps, and for Kieron Bowie, who scored an impressive early goal. The victory provided a much-needed boost for head coach Sebastien Pocognoli, who could now focus on his team's progress without the pressure of finding a winning formula.
