UEFA Nations League 2024-25: Scotland rescues Nations League relegation playoff with late Poland win

A last-gasp goal by Andy Robertson gave Scotland a 2-1 away win over Poland in a pulsating Nations League Group A1 clash on Monday, a result that saw the Scots enter a relegation playoff while the Poles are relegated to the second-tier League B.

John McGinn put Scotland in front after three minutes before Poland’s Kamil Piatkowski levelled just before the hour. Robertson sealed the victory in stoppage time with a header that bounced in off the inside of the post.

Scotland finished third on seven points, three above last-placed Poland.

Portugal, which clinched top spot and a place in the quarterfinals last week, have 14 points while Croatia, which is second with eight points, sealed a last-eight berth with a 1-1 home draw against the Portuguese in its final game also on Monday.

Josko Gvardiol scored his first international goal in two years to rescue a point for Croatia, which was enough for the side to make it to the knockouts.
