Scott McTominay scores twice again, Scotland defeats Spain 2-0

With another brace Scott McTominay, Scotland earned its first win against Spain in nearly four decades.
McTominay continued his good scoring form netting twice for the second straight game to give the hosts a surprising 2-0 win over Spain on Tuesday in qualifying for the 2024 European Championship.
The Manchester United midfielder found the net once in each half to help Scotland defeat La Roja for the first time since a 3-1 win in World Cup qualifying in 1984.
“The manager (Steve Clarke) said this is our chance to create legacies as Scotland players and these are the nights in 20, 30 years that people remember,” McTominay said. “We did really, really well. We knew they’d have lots of the ball and the manager said to be clinical when we had the opportunities.”
The result also extended Scotland’s unbeaten streak in European qualifying to seven games and handed it the early lead in Group A with six points from two matches, three more than Spain.

Spain had not been beaten in Euro qualifying in 20 matches since 2014, when it lost 2-1 at Slovakia ahead of the 2016 tournament in France. La Roja had won 34 of its last 38 European qualifying matches, with three draws.
