Scotland Women secured a goalless draw away to Belgium in their latest World Cup qualifying fixture on Saturday. The result at the Den Dreef Stadium leaves the side frustrated despite showing signs of defensive improvement, according to Sky Sports. Pedro Martinez Losa's team managed to restrict the hosts to few clear opportunities throughout the match.
Midfielder Caroline Weir returned to the starting line-up following her recovery from a long-term knee injury, per The Guardian. Goalkeeper Lee Gibson produced several saves to maintain the clean sheet under pressure from the Belgian attack. Scotland remains in contention for a qualification spot within their group following the point earned on the road.
Players expressed disappointment at the final whistle, which Martinez Losa suggested indicates a shift in mentality and higher expectations for the squad. The team next prepares for upcoming qualifying fixtures as they aim to reach the 2027 tournament. Scotland currently sits third in the group standings, according to official match reports.
