Despite a lackluster first half, Scotland took the lead through an own goal by Finnish defender Arttu Hoskonen and a header by Shankland. However, defensive errors allowed Finland to equalize, dampening the home fans' spirits. Manager Steve Clarke confirmed the final cuts to the squad, including veteran Craig Gordon and John Souttar. Clarke expressed disappointment at the result but remains optimistic about Scotland's prospects in the upcoming tournament.
