Match Recap

Scotland didn't need long to settle this one. Kieron Bowie struck inside seven minutes away from home, and John McGinn put the game to bed in the 69th, sealing a 2-0 win over FYR Macedonia in the UEFA Nations League. The scoreline flatters the hosts if anything: Macedonia sit bottom with zero points from two games and back-to-back losses, while Scotland's draw-loss start at least yielded a point and third place. Neither side is scoring for fun compared to the league's charge, where H. Kane leads the way on four goals, but Bowie's early finish and McGinn's second-half punctuation mark were enough on the night. For Macedonia, two matches, two defeats, and nothing to show for it is the kind of form that piles pressure fast. Scotland, meanwhile, will take the clean sheet and the control they showed after the opener. Watch how Bowie's seventh-minute strike caught Macedonia cold before McGinn's late goal confirmed the damage in the highlights below.
