Nations League Wrap: Scots End Drought, Yamal on Song

On Saturday, Scotland defeated North Macedonia 2-0 at the National Arena Todor Proeski in Skopje, with defender Andy Robertson earning his 100th international cap for his country.
Kieron Bowie scored his first international goal in the seventh minute, while John McGinn added a second-half penalty from 12 yards as Scotland dominated with 13 shots in the opening 45 minutes.
Robertson led by example throughout 90 minutes, helping Scotland end a five-game goal drought—their first score since McGinn's goal against Haiti in Boston last June.
Manager Pocognoli introduced former Dundee centre-half Luke Graham for his debut, securing Scotland's second clean sheet in three games against North Macedonia.
Italy, Belgium, England, and Wales have all failed to prevail at the National Arena Todor Proeski in recent years, making Scotland's victory at the venue particularly significant.
