Scotland Women Deny Belgium Victory in Stoppage Time

Scotland Women scored a 95th-minute equaliser against Belgium to remain at the top of the World Cup Qualifying League B Group 4 table.

Belgium took the lead in the 15th minute at Easter Road when Tessa Wullaert’s corner was tucked home by Sari Kees past Sandy MacIver.

Melissa Andreatta’s side responded well, but Erin Cuthbert missed a chance, Kathleen McGovern headed over the crossbar from close range, and goalkeeper Nicky Evrard scrambled to tip Miri Taylor’s deflected effort over the top.

They finally got their rewards at the death, as Lauren Davidson crossed and McGovern got there to knock it over the line.

Scotland travel to Leuven for the return match on Saturday.
