PIRAEUS, Greece — Greece expected Scotland to stick to its decades-old playbook: physical duels, crosses into the area, and spirited counterattacks. The Scots delivered that on Thursday plus a little more showing game control and ending the hosts' winning streak with a 1-0 victory in the Nations League playoff. The decisive goal came in the 33rd minute from a Scott McTominay penalty. McTominay's Napoli teammate Billy Gilmour provided a calming presence in midfield while Torino's Che Adams troubled the Greek defense. Coach Steve Clarke says it's great to see his players "going abroad and doing so well."
