Scott McTominay scored an amazing free kick against Spain from an absurd angle to give Scotland a 1-0 lead, but VAR cruelly disqualified it

Scotland lost 2-0 to Spain in Seville, leaving them to regret the contentious decision to ignore Scott McTominay’s free kick. Steve Clarke’s team was leading the game. In the Euro 2024 qualifier, McTominay believed he had given Scotland the advantage in a match where a draw would have guaranteed them a spot in the competition.

The Liverpool star was unable to finish the first half and was had to leave the field due to a suspected shoulder dislocation, which dealt a severe blow to the Scots.

The midfielder curled a superb free-kick beyond Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon from close to the byline in the second half.

McTominay’s strike provoked celebrations from Scotland’s players and fans as Euro 2024 qualifier appeared to draw closer.
