Scotland lost 0–4 to the Netherlands in Amsterdam, which was a terrible night for Scott McTominay and his team.

The score, however, doesn’t really show what happened because the Scots had many chances to tie the game but missed them all and gave up three late goals.

They got off to a good start and ended the game with 13 shots, the same number as the Dutch. In addition, they had a fair 46% of the ball at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

In any case, they will need to learn to take risks and avoid late crashes like this if they want to make a mark on the summer Euros.

Being a box-to-box midfielder at first, McTominay was part in the midfield battle as you might expect.

Unfortunately, the United school graduate got himself into trouble right away. In just the eighth minute of play, he got a yellow card for a careless high arm.

The Scottish international was also the victim of a bad mistake by Memphis Depay, who used to play for United and was also sent off.

In the first half, McTominay helped Scotland make some nice passes, and he also had a couple of great runs down the field.

The most important play of the game for the United player happened in the 47th minute, when he cleverly wriggled away from the Dutch defender in the penalty area. His shot was stopped, but it looked like the goal would go in.

Overall, though, McTominay huffed and puffed but it didn’t help.

The player got a bad 6.2 on Sofascore, but they did an amazing job of passing the ball 91% of the time and getting 54 touches.

Aside from the shot that was blocked, McTominay’s only other attempt was off goal, and he rarely looked like he could score.

He lost eight of the eleven ground duels he fought, giving him a 27% duel efficiency. This meant he didn’t win many duels.

Besides that, he lost the ball eight times and made three mistakes. He almost got a red card, but since it was a friendly, wasn’t sent off.

It’s true that the 27-year-old did make five saves and block one shot.

Now, Scotland has to wait until Tuesday night, when they play Northern Ireland in a game that should be easier for McTominay and his team.
