Scotland took an early lead in the third minute with a spectacular overhead kick, but Denmark's pressure led to an equalizer from a penalty in the second half. The match further intensified when a Danish player was sent off for a second yellow card, but Denmark quickly leveled the score after Scotland had regained the lead.
The game was ultimately decided in added time with two remarkable goals from Scotland. One was a long-range strike, and the other a goal from the halfway line, sealing the win and their qualification as group winners.
The victory was celebrated as a historic night for Scottish football, held at a packed Hampden Park.
