The UEFA European Championship Qualification match between Finland Women and Scotland Women ended with a 2-0 victory for Finland. Critical to Finland’s success was their ability to capitalize on early scoring opportunities, with both goals occurring in the first half. The first goal at 8 minutes set the tone, and the second at 27 minutes put significant pressure on Scotland. Despite Scotland's efforts to regain control through a high number of corner kicks (15 compared to Finland's 2), they struggled to convert these opportunities into goals.

Scotland’s offensive strategy was hampered by their lack of precision in finishing and an inability to break through Finland’s defensive setup. The 15 corners, while indicative of their attacking efforts, also highlight Finland’s effective defensive resilience in set-piece situations. Finland’s discipline was evident through maintaining composure, with only a single yellow card in the second half, compared to Scotland’s yellow card in the first half which may have disrupted their midfield cohesion temporarily.

Overall, Finland demonstrated superior teamwork and efficiency, especially in converting early chances. Scotland’s higher offside rate (3 compared to Finland's 1) and inability to score despite numerous set pieces indicate challenges in their timing and execution in the attacking third. Subtle use of Finland’s defensive depth minimized Scotland’s attacks, contributing significantly to the Finnish clean sheet. The disciplined Finnish defense, combined with clinical early attacking, were decisive factors in this qualifying match.
