Scotland Edges Greece 1-0 in Tense Nations League Clash
Piraeus, Greece – Scotland secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Greece in a thrilling UEFA Nations League encounter at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki. The only goal of the game came in the 33rd minute from a penalty expertly converted by Scott McTominay. Despite Greece enjoying 57% possession and registering 22 shots (only 1 on target), Scotland proved more clinical in front of goal. Greece dominated possession and created numerous chances, but a resolute Scottish defense and a lack of accuracy in the final third thwarted their attempts to equalize. Both teams received one yellow card each; Liam Ferguson for Scotland and M. Siopis for Greece. Despite extensive substitutions made by Greece in the second half in a desperate attempt to turn the tide, Scotland held on to secure a crucial victory.
