Scottish Women's Cup: Queens Park Women 1-1 Spartans Women (Queens Park Win on Penalties)

The Scottish Women's Cup served up a dramatic evening as Queens Park Women edged past Spartans Women 1-1 (after extra time) and prevailed in a penalty shoot-out on 26 July 2026. The tie, played at a neutral venue, saw both teams battle intensely for a place in the next round.

Spartans took the lead in the 35th minute, capitalising on a defensive mix-up to slot home from six yards. Queens Park responded well after the interval, applying sustained pressure that finally paid off when they equalised in the 72nd minute through a composed finish from a tight angle after a corner was only partially cleared.

Extra time failed to separate the sides, with both goalkeepers making crucial saves. In the shoot-out, Queens Park converted all four of their spot-kicks, while Spartans missed their second attempt, which proved decisive. The victory sends Queens Park into the next round of the cup competition, where they will face a higher-ranked opponent.
