Scotland Defeats Norway in Euro Championship Qualifiers

Scotland Defeats Norway in Euro Championship Qualifiers

Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean scored late goals as Scotland came from behind to win 2-1 against host Norway in Group A of the European Championship qualifiers on Saturday. Scotland moved to the top of the group with nine points, six points ahead of Spain, which has played one match less, while Norway remained in fourth place with one point. Cyprus is set to play Georgia in the same group later today. Norway struggled to create scoring chances until they were awarded a penalty successfully converted by Erling Haaland, the UEFA Champions League winner with Manchester City last week, in the 61st minute. Norway's coach Ståle Solbakken paid the price for substituting Haaland in the 84th minute. Forward Dykes equalized in the 87th minute, and just two minutes later, he teamed up with substitute McLean to secure the victory, silencing the Norwegian fans.
