Scotland Come From Behind Twice to Beat Czech Republic and Reach World Cup Play-off Final

Scotland twice came from behind to beat the Czech Republic 3-2 in Paisley, completing a 5-2 aggregate victory and moving into a Women’s World Cup play-off final.

The second leg on home soil saw Scotland concede first and then again, but on each occasion they responded to regain the upper hand in the match. The 3-2 win on the night, combined with their advantage from the tie overall, took the contest away from the Czechs and left the aggregate scoreline at 5-2.

That result sets up a play-off final against Sweden, with a place at the Women’s World Cup the prize at stake for the winner.
