Scotland's women's football team began their Euro 2025 qualification campaign with a draw against Serbia at 17:00 BST, followed by a victory against Slovakia, marking their first win of the campaign at 19:35 GMT. The draw in Serbia was seen as a positive result by Scotland manager Pedro Martinez Losa, despite it extending the team's winless streak to eight competitive matches. The subsequent match against Slovakia at Hampden was crucial, with Losa urging his team to play with confidence. Scotland's performance was dominant, but the match remained goalless until the 61st minute when Sophie Howard scored from Erin Cuthbert's free-kick, securing a 1-0 victory. This win was particularly significant for Scotland, ending a poor run of results and was described by Nicola Docherty as feeling 'amazing'. The match against Slovakia was seen as a 'watershed moment' for the Pedro Martinez Losa reign.
