Scotland managed to secure a crucial point against Switzerland, maintaining their Euro 2024 campaign hopes. Despite battling injuries and mistakes, the Scots held on for a draw in a tense match at Cologne Stadium.
Scott McTominay, known for his role in Scotland's qualification efforts, nearly sent the Scottish fans into a frenzy with a deflected shot in the 13th minute.
However, a costly error by Anthony Ralston, who made a blind back pass, allowed Xherdan Shaqiri to capitalize with a precise first-time shot, leaving goalkeeper Angus Gunn with no chance.
Kieran Tierney's hamstring injury added to Scotland's woes as he pulled up while chasing Dan Ndoye, who missed a significant opportunity when one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Tierney is now set to miss the upcoming match against Hungary on Sunday.
Despite these setbacks, Scotland showed resilience in the closing stages. Grant Hanley hit the post with a header from an Andy Robertson free-kick, nearly snatching a late winner.
The Swiss had several late chances but failed to convert, allowing Scotland to secure a point. This result places Scotland third in Group A, with a victory against Hungary likely enough to advance them past the group stage for the first time in their history.
