Greece stun Scotland for League A spot along with Turkey and Serbia

GLASGOW, Scotland - Scotland missed the chance to play in Group A of the Nations League next season after visitors Greece breezed past them 3-0 in their playoff second leg on Sunday for an aggregate 3-1 win.

Scotland had a 1-0 lead after the first leg away on Thursday, with Scott McTominay scoring from the penalty spot in the first half after Lazaros Rota committed a foul.

That lead slipped away when Giannis Konstantelias latched onto a perfectly placed cross in the 20th minute. With a single, precise touch, he fired a low shot that curled into the near post, levelling the aggregate score.

Three minutes before the break, Hampden Park fell into stunned silence as 17-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas doubled Greeces lead with a composed, curled left-foot finish, unmarked inside the box.

The nightmare continued for Scotland just 20 seconds after the restart when Greece added a third, Christos Tzolis scoring after being left unmarked and receiving a perfect delivery to all but end the contest.

TURKEY DOMINATE

In Budapest, Turkey cruised into Group A for the next edition of the Nations League with a 3-0 win over Hungary for an aggregate score of 6-1.

The hosts faced a tough challenge, trailing Turkey by 3-1 from the first leg, and it quickly became clear they lacked the firepower to mount a strong comeback.

Penalty specialist Hakan Calhanoglu put Turkey ahead from the spot in the 37th minute after Attila Fiola fouled Ismail Yuksek. Two minutes later, Arda Guler doubled Turkeys advantage, effectively sealing the match. Abdulkerim Bardakci added a third for Turkey in stoppage time.

Serbia managed to seal their League A spot after a 2-0 win at home over Austria, with Nemanja Maksimovic scoring in the 56th minute and Dusan Vlahovic scoring a second in stoppage time to secure
