Scotland edged past Belarus 2-1 in a UEFA FIFA World Cup qualification match on October 13, 2025. The victory at Hampden Park in Glasgow was a hard-fought one for the Scots, who were made to work for the three points by a determined Belarusian side. Scotland took an early lead but were pegged back by a Belarus equalizer before halftime. The second half was a tense affair, with Scotland eventually finding a winner through a moment of individual quality to avoid a frustrating draw. The result relieves pressure on the Scottish campaign, providing a crucial home win. While the performance was not entirely convincing, the ability to grind out a result will please manager Steve Clarke as Scotland looks to build momentum in a competitive qualification group.
