Despite playing at home, Poland was soon doused with cold water by Scotland in the 3rd minute. The visitors coordinated well in the middle, before McGinn unleashed a low, tricky shot that defeated goalkeeper Skorupski.
The early goal made the match more exciting. Both teams continuously played tit for tat towards each other’s goal. It was not until the 65th minute that Poland found the equalizer with a “cannon shot” from Piatkowski.
Scotland pressed forward late in the game, as a draw would see them relegated. In the final seconds of stoppage time, Robertson headed home to seal a thrilling victory for the visitors.
This defeat left Poland bottom of Group A1 and relegated to League B. Meanwhile, Scotland finished third, just one point behind Croatia. The top spot in this group was soon taken by Portugal.
Thus, Portugal and Croatia are the two teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals of the Nations League, while Scotland will play the relegation play-off.
Final score: Poland 1-2 Scotland (Half-time: 0-1)
