World Cup qualification: Clear wins for Scotland and Israel

However, the hosts were only ten in the 50th minute after Ion Nicolescu was expelled for the attack. After a corner from Vadim Rata and a header from Nicolescu, which was blocked, Caitlin Karp made a surprise 1-0 (29th) run for the outsider in Chisinau.

Moldova is weakening itself

Soon after the move, Israel’s defenders Loi Taha and Rata clashed. Nicolescu intervenes in this physical argument and pushes Taha to the ground.

That means Nicolescu is missing in the home game against Austria on 1 September, as is yellow-banned defender Igor Armas.

With another man, Israel had no more problems. Sahavi failed in a direct duel with goalkeeper Alexei Koslev, but Manor Solomon (57th) was dusted off, as did former Salzburg striker Munas Daber (64th), when Koselev was struck in the Czech with a deflected cross. it was done. Not even two minutes later, captain Bibrus received Nacho after a hair-raising error in the build-up to the final score (66th).

Scotland took the lead in the seventh minute at Hampden Park in Glasgow with a goal from John McGuin. The Aston Villa midfielder also set a target of 2-2 at home against Austria last week with a brilliant overhead kick.

Even after the break, McGuin was quickly on the spot – this time with a head after Kieran Tierney’s cross (53rd). The 3–0 result was a long-range shot by Che Adams (60th), the final score being led by Ryan Fraser after a cross from Andrew Robertson (70th).
