SCOTLAND 19S DESTROY ARMENIA, SWISS AND ROMANIA TIE IN GROUP 9 EURO QUALIFIERS
90 Minutes Soccer Magazine
Oct 10 2012
Scotland's young guns were in action tonight in the first of a series
of three matches on home soil, and left no-one in doubt about their
intentions in group 9 of the UEFA Euro qualifiers.
Goals from Chalmers 48', Kennedy 54', McKay 65' and MacLeod 68' gave
the Scottish under 19s lads a tremendous start to the week against
Armenia and with the other group game between Switzerland and Romania
ending 1-1, the Scots can take huge confidence as they move forward
into Thursdays match v Romania.
Romania played very well in tonight's game against the Swiss and
should have walked away with the three points but failed to finish off
the chances they had after dominating the game. Couple this failure
to finish off a game after taking the lead and Scotland's confident
approach to offensive play, the Scot's could be looking at having the
opportunity of departing Falkirk on Thursday evening with the Group
already in the bag without the need of playing on Sunday.
Ricky Sbragia can perhaps sleep easier tonight knowing that his
players were outstanding in tonight's match but also that both their
other group opponents failed to deliver when they had the chance to
impose themselves on the early group opener.
Thursday sees Scotland face Romania at Falkirk with a 7.30pm ko,
Switzerland will face Armenia at New Douglas Park also with a
7.30pm ko.
