Scotland’s national football team edged Belarus 2‑1, thanks to a pair of goals from Callum Adams and Scott McTominay. The match, held in Minsk on Saturday, saw Scotland take an early lead when Adams fired a curling shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Tough Belarus defenders ran out of chances to equalise before the game entered its second period.
McTominay sparked the comeback for the Scots. With the score still 1‑0, he pressed high, intercepted a cross, and drove a low finish past the Belarus keeper to make it 1‑1. The Russian‑based midfielder then collected a pass near the edge of the area, controlled the ball with his left foot and flicked a shot into the top corner, sealing the win for Scotland.
The 2‑1 result gives Scotland a valuable win in its schedule of European matches. Strong performances like this boost the team’s confidence ahead of more tests against tough opponents. The Belarus side, meanwhile, has to regroup after a hard-fought game that pushed them close to a draw.
Fans around the world celebrated the goal celebrations and the family‑friendly atmosphere that spilled onto the sides of the stadium. Football pundits note that this win keeps Scotland’s hope alive for a top‑half finish in their group, while Belarus will look to analyse the gaps exposed in their defence.
In a match filled with drama and solid displays, Collins Adams and McTominay proved they still have what it takes to move Scotland forward in the current competition.
