Oslo – Scotland's football players won in Norway in the qualification for the European Championship after a turnaround at the end 2:1 and remained 100% in group A after three rounds. Not even a converted penalty by striker Erling Haaland, who started in the qualifiers for the first time, helped the home team to their first win in the fight for Euro 2024.

The Norwegians were more active in Oslo from the start, but could not overcome the solid Scottish defense for long. After an hour of play, Porteous pulled down Haaland in the penalty area and the 22-year-old Gunner converted the penalty.
Haaland, who scored 52 competitive goals for Manchester City last season and helped them win the treble, scored after a five-match fast. However, his 22nd national team goal was not enough for the Norwegians to score.
Shortly after Haaland's substitution in the 87th minute, Dykes equalized and the visiting striker set up the winning goal for substitute McLean in just two minutes. Scotland surprisingly lead the table by six points ahead of Spain, who have a game in hand. Norway is third with one point.
Before Tuesday's warm-up with the Czech Republic, Montenegro drew 0:0 with Hungary in Podgorica. In the incomplete qualifying group G table, the home team remained third by a score behind their opponent today. However, the Hungarians played one less match.
