Scotland's Che Adams has laid claim to an early Serie A goal of the season contender after netting an incredible strike on the opening weekend of the campaign.
What happened?
The Torino striker was introduced in the 70th minute with his team trailing 2-0 against AC Milan. He scored a consolation goal in stoppage time with an astonishing first-time hooked volley.
Why it matters for Scotland
This goal is sure to have caught the eye of new Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli, who will name his maiden squad next month for the Nations League fixtures against Slovenia and Switzerland. Adams earned his 50th cap for Scotland at this summer's World Cup and has 13 international goals to his name.
What comes next?
Scotland is currently 3rd in the World Cup standings, with 3 points from 3 games, and a recent form of LLW, having lost their last three games, including a 0-3 loss to Brazil on June 24, 2026. Their next fixture is against Slovenia on September 26, 2026, as they look to improve their standings and close the 4-point gap behind leaders Brazil.
