GLORIOUS losers. That has been the label this group of Scots have been trying to shrug off. It will give them little comfort then that as they went down to Spain in Seville, that they more than deserved huge credit in defeat.
There were so many heroes for Scotland in the Estadio de la Cartuja, who may have been wearing the white change jerseys, but refused to wave the white flag in the face of a Spanish onslaught. They came up just short, but how close they came to finishing the job of qualifying for the European Championships.
Not that Spain didn’t enjoy a huge slice of good fortune of their own, and goalkeeper Unai Simon in particular. The early Torres chance was the only real defensive lapse from Steve Clarke’s men in the opening half, who allowed Spain to have almost all of the ball and challenged them to do something with it. They threatened, at times. No more so than when Mikel Merino smashed a half volley off the inside of Gunn’s post and out for a goal kick on the other side. Thanks again, Dame Fortune.
On a rare occasion that Alvaro Morata timed his run to stay onside, Navas found him, and his diving header was too much for Gunn to handle.
