In the Nations League match in Skopje, Scotland produced a controlled and ferocious performance as they beat North Macedonia 2–0. Although the scoreboard said only two goals, what happened on the field was even more extensive. Struggling without the ball for more than 80 minutes, North Macedonia eventually set up a few passes after Scott McKenna was sent off and made some attempts. Before that the guests had the entire run in their bag.
The numbers make this clear: Scotland scored 25 attempts (10 of which were straight into the net); At the same time North Macedonia did not get a brave goal attempt. The difference in touches in the penalty area was 37–2. This easily describes the story of this game. The racing spirit in the stadium was low, the only thing alive was the noise made by the traveling Scotland fans; The quality of the ground was also disappointing. Even a dog running onto the field at one point revealed the house's dysfunction.
The night also marked Captain Andy Robertson's 100th cap. From the start he was on fire and scored four tries in 13 minutes. Then came the silent opening. Billy Gilmour set the pace from Ollie McBurney's lead and Kieran Bowie cut in beautifully down the right and slotted sharply into the net. That precision was the key moment that set the group at ease.
Ben Cannon-Doke on the right had the defense wrapped up, with the pace unrelenting on either side. But his lack of minutes at club level (fewer chances while playing for Bournemouth) was evident in his final decision; Hitting hard at times and Bresian falling short in a few attempts gave the home side a chance to escape. However, his pace, touches and concentrated contribution all made Scotland a constant threat in attack.
The second goal came via a penalty to keep the pressure on after the break. John McGinn was the power hitter in net, tying Larry Reilly on the nation's all-time list with 22 goals. McKenna hit the post with an effort in the interval; Another chance was close for Bowie. Despite McKenna's red card in the closing stages, the game was firmly in Scotland's hands by then.
Lewis Pinks and Stephen Welsh were quiet in defence; Substitute Robbie Ure had the experience of celebrating victory for the country. This victory gave due confidence to the beginning of the new era. It was a breath of fresh air for head coach Sebastien Pogonioli; "Where's the goal?" Rebuttal to the contention that With 3 points ahead of their next fixture against Slovenia in Hampton on Tuesday, Scotland head into the game with fresh faces invigorating.
North Macedonia looked undeniably weak tonight. But never mind that, the guests, with their speed and plan, did away with them properly. This absolute dominance, on the back of a simple 2–0 scoreline, gives Scotland a strong foothold in the Nations League.
What happens next
On the back of this win, Scotland are likely to play more enthusiastically in the next match. They need to keep winning the Nations League matches so that they can get a higher position. In the future, there are likely to be many more changes and improvements to the team's gameplay.
