Scott McTominay’s deflected strike earned Steve Clarke’s side their first point of the tournament.
Scotland 1 Switzerland 1 BATTLING SCOTLAND GOT their Euro 2024 campaign back on track with a tension-filled 1-1 draw against Switzerland in Cologne.
Scotland had to work hard to contain Murat Yakin’s side but they did with intensity and determination, although the offside flag saved them twice from conceding, and they almost went ahead again when defender Grant Hanley hit the post in the second half. Winning two corners in three minutes provided instant encouragement for the Scots, who took the lead after a swift counter.
At the other end, Scotland striker Che Adams almost slipped a shot past Sommer at his near post from a McTominay corner before Gunn made a good save from a Granit Xhaka strike moments later. Then, after Adams had conceded possession, Embolo raced clear to dink the ball past Gunn but again the offside flag drew sighs of relief from anyone in dark blue.
