The team of Scotland has made a significant application for participation in the final part of the European Championship. The British team won with rivals from Holland - 1: 0. Everyone knows about the ability of the Scots to keep the result, which can become the key to victory and in the second meeting, which will be held in Holland.
At the Humpden Park Stadium, Award James McFadden scored the only goal at the guests' gates, which brings the Scots the advantage over a visit to Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday. Note that the Dutch in the course of this match looked much more active. In particular, the real moments for taking the gate were at Frank de Bure, Japa Stama and Clarence Zeedorf. But a couple of attacks: Patrick Klyuvert and Ruud van Nistelra were tightly closed by the defense of the national team of Scotland.
As for Makfadden, the 20-year-old striker struck after the transfer of 19-year-old Darren Fletcher. However, in order to win this victory, Scotland had to withstand the real siege of its gate by the opponent at the last minutes of the match.
In the next match, Holland will not play weaves, who received a yellow card in the last minutes of the match, which became the second for him in this cycle. He received a "mustard" and Christian Dalley. The Dutch team looked in the course of a more ready -made physically and tactically, but the Scots were perfectly tuned to this match, which became the key to their victory.
I must say that bookmakers evaluate the chances of the victory of Scotland at the European Championship as 750 to one, but judging by the game that went on Saturday in Glasgow, it is worth changing the coefficients somewhat.
Scotland scored the first and only goal in this match in the 22nd minute. Makfadden charged Fletcher’s pass, and he, having gone a little with the ball, gave it back to McFadden, who struck exactly into the right upper corner of the gate, and the frank de Boures out of this blow was out of work.
After that, the guests responded with two dangerous attacks performed by Stama and Van Der Meade, but the goalkeeper of Scotland Robert Douglas worked miracles at the gate. In the second half, the Scots completely moved into their zone, where they repelled an attack on the attack of players in orange form. The same was close to the same van der Made, who, after his blow, fell into the post in the last minutes of the meeting. Thus, this is the first victory of Scotland over Holland in the official match since 1978, when Scotland won with a score - 3: 2 in the final part of the World Cup.
