Scotland Women defeated Luxembourg 5-0 to begin their World Cup qualification campaign. Caroline Weir, acting as the new permanent captain, scored three goals in the fixture. The result gives the national team three points in the opening round of the tournament cycle, according to Sky Sports.
Weir missed several months of international football following an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in 2023. She returned to the squad last year and now leads the side under manager Pedro Martinez Losa. The midfielder currently plays for Real Madrid in the Liga F, per ESPN records.
Scotland aims to return to the World Cup after failing to qualify for the 2023 tournament. The team sits at the top of the early group standings following the five-goal margin of victory. Martha Thomas and Claire Emslie also contributed to the scoreline during the match held on Tuesday, as reported by The Guardian.
