We are going to need just one opportunity to win the game in Finland.” Meanwhile, Finland’s head coach, Marko Saloranta, expressed contentment with the outcome. He commented, “We have to be satisfied with the result. Scotland is a very, very, very good team with unbelievable players. We were missing some important players.” Saloranta further conveyed his anticipation for the return leg, stating, “It will be so nice to play in Helsinki on Tuesday. We have been quite good at home. Everything is open and there’s a big prize.”
