Poland seal Nations League win with late penalty to spoil Scotland comeback
The bad news keeps on coming for Steve Clarke and Scotland. Just when it looked as if damage incurred during a horrible Euro 2024 – and in the first half here – looked like being repaired, Poland snatched a 97th-minute victory. Grant Hanley’s lunge triggered a penalty which only added to despondency around the Scotland team.
Until that point, even the extending of a run to one win in 13 felt unimportant. Clarke’s team had recovered from two goals behind at half-time to level the scores. The key problem attached to what happened next is this always looked the easiest of Scotland’s Nations League fixtures.
