Scotland's Adams and McTominay Score in 2-1 Win over Belarus
Scotland advanced in 2026 World Cup qualifying with a 2-1 win despite a poor showing and Belarus outshooting them 22 to 12, coach Steve Clarke said.
- On October 12, 2025, Scotland beat Belarus 2-1 at Hampden Park with goals from Che Adams and Scott McTominay in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
- Scotland head coach Steve Clarke said `Performances don't get you qualification.` and called this among his worst displays in 72 games despite six points from the international window.
- Belarus had 22 shots and a higher xG, saw Evgeni Malashevich's leveller ruled out by VAR for a foul on Scott McTominay, and substitute Hleb Kuchko scored in stoppage time.
- The win puts Scotland three points clear at the top of Group C, with matches against Greece on November 15 and Denmark on November 18; a Denmark win over Greece would secure a playoff spot.
- To secure automatic qualification, Scotland may need wins on November 15 and November 18, as Denmark's superior goal difference leaves them just 180 minutes from the World Cup Finals.
