Scotland’s national women’s football team, managed by Pedro Martinez Losa, secured a spot in the Pinatar Cup final against Finland after a victory against the Philippines. The win was a much-needed confidence booster for the team after a challenging period.
Martha Thomas, who scored two goals in the match, expressed her joy at getting back on track after a rough few games. The striker, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the WSL, had been eager to replicate her club form for the national team. However, the return of veteran scorer Jane Ross added competition for her position.
Ross, who recently returned to the national team after a long absence due to injury, has an impressive track record with 62 goals for Scotland. Her presence has brought depth to the attacking lineup and provided Thomas with a much-needed challenge.
The victory against the Philippines marked a turning point for Scotland, who have faced criticism for their recent performances. The team’s focus is now on qualifying for the European Championship next year, a goal that Martinez Losa and his players are determined to achieve.
As Scotland prepares for upcoming qualifiers in April, the team is hoping to build on their recent success and continue inspiring young girls to take up the sport. With the support of fans and the determination of the players, Scotland aims to make a strong showing at the European Championship and cement their place among the elite teams in women’s football.
