Scott McTominay’s Stunning Goal Secures Scotland’s World Cup Spot

Scott McTominay needed just three minutes to further cement his legacy in Scottish football history.

During a critical 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Denmark, the Napoli midfielder delivered an astonishing highlight. Following a failed clearance from the Danish defense, winger Ben Doak sent in a precise cross. In a remarkable display of athleticism, McTominay executed a right-footed overhead kick that made perfect contact, sending the ball past Denmark’s goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, and into the corner of the net.

McTominay’s goal was pivotal in a thrilling 4-2 victory for Scotland. Additional stunning goals from Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean ensured that Scotland will compete in the World Cup for the first time since 1998.

At the club level, McTominay has excelled following his £25.7 million transfer to Napoli from Manchester United in 2024. He has netted 14 goals in 44 Serie A matches since joining the Italian side and ranked 18th in the voting for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
