In the early hours of November 19th, Scotland defeated Denmark 4-2, securing their place in the 2026 World Cup. A notable highlight of the match was Scott McTominay's spectacular goal in the 3rd minute.

From a perfect cross by Ben Gannon-Doak, McTominay launched himself into a spectacular overhead kick inside the penalty area. The move immediately brought to mind Cristiano Ronaldo's masterpiece against Juventus in the 2018 Champions League.

On social media, fans were amazed by McTominay's goal. One account wrote: "This is the best goal of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers." Another commented: "McTominay made a huge contribution to helping his team make history." Another shared: "McTominay's talent deserves more recognition."

Some fans even believe that McTominay's goal could be a contender for the 2025 Puskas Awards (Goal of the Year).

After six matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, McTominay scored two goals and provided one assist for Scotland. He also has four goals and one assist in 14 appearances for Napoli in all competitions this season.

Many Scottish players broke down in tears after securing their first World Cup qualification since 1998. Meanwhile, Denmark will have to play in the play-offs to keep their hopes alive of reaching the Americas next year.
