World Cup qualification: Scotland continue with last-minute win

In a swift game from the start with several chances from both sides, Israel took the lead with a free kick from Aran Sehvi (5th). A flick from John McGuin from the edge of the penalty area (29th) leveled the home team before Munas Dabbar drew 2–1 for Israel two minutes later. Shortly before the break, Lyndon Dykes failed with a penalty against Israeli goalkeeper Ophir Marciano. In a 1–0 victory against Austria in Vienna in September, the striker scored the deciding goal from point.

Despite setbacks shortly before the break, the Scots returned to the game. Dykes scored 2:2 in the 55th minute, although the goal was not scored initially due to an alleged strain on the attacker’s leg, but it was then recognized after the use of VAR. “Lucky Punch” was achieved from close range after a corner (94th) by Scott McTominay.

Denmark Goal Machine Continues

However, the measure of all things in Group F is still Denmark, who will compete as the flawless leader of the table for a duel with Austria in Copenhagen on Tuesday (8.45 pm, LIVE ORF1). The Danes celebrated a clear 4-0 win against Moldova in Chisinau on Saturday, winning seven matches with a goal difference of 26-0.

As expected, Denmark left nothing to be desired at the Stadionul Zimbru. Andreas Schov Olsen (23rd), captain Simon Kjaer (34th/penalty), Christian Norgaard (39th) and Joachim Mahle (44th) ensured victory in the first 45 minutes. Later, guests could do the work more calmly and save energy. Austria is looking to avenge Tuesday’s 4-0 home defeat in Vienna on March 31. With a seven-point lead, the Danes will have a World Cup ticket in their pocket if they win.

Albania are four points behind after a 1-0 win over Hungary, which had to play in front of empty ranks due to the racist behavior of its fans. Poland scored another point after a 5–0 win against San Marino.

Penalties for the Englishmen who were not in the best line-up in Andorra la Vella, Ben Chilwell (17th), Bukayo Saka (40th), Tammy Abraham (59th), James Ward-Prause (79th) were also penalised. Hit goalkeeper Josep Gomes failed, and Jack Grealish (86th).

At the Budapest Puskas Arena, the Albanian players were shivering for a long time before “Joker” Armando Broja scored the deciding goal in the 80th minute. Poland secured the inevitable victory against San Marino thanks to goals from Karol wiedski (10th), Christian Broly (20th/own goal), Tomasz Kedziora (50th), Adam Buxa (84th) and Krzysztof Piatek (91st).

The Bosnian had earlier registered their first win in a 2–0 (1–0) victory over Kazakhstan, thanks to two goals from former Salzburg striker Smil Prevljak (25th, 66th).

Victory for Serbia and Switzerland
