[Saba Sports News] During the European Championship
qualifiers, Scotland suffered a 0-2 defeat against Spain in an away match. In
the 60th minute of the game, Scott McTominay scored directly from a free kick,
giving Scotland the lead. However, Dutch referee Serdar Gozubuyu disallowed the
goal after a review by the video assistant referee. Initially, it was shown on
the stadium’s big screen that Scottish defender Jack Hendry had fouled Spanish
goalkeeper Unai Simon. However, the decision was later changed, ruling that
Hendry was in an offside position and had interfered with the goalkeeper by
being too close to him. Following the match, the Scottish Football Association
has announced its intention to write to UEFA, seeking an explanation for why
McTominay’s goal was disallowed.
