Scotland women boost World Cup qualification hopes with victory over Belarus
Last updated 8th Jun 2018
Erin Cuthbert ensured Scotland maintained their pursuit of World Cup qualifying Group 2 leaders Switzerland as they came from behind to beat Belarus 2-1.
Belarus took the lead against the run of play at Falkirk Stadium with 27 minutes gone when Karina Olkhovik's shot from distance evaded keeper Lee Alexander and went in off the underside of the crossbar.
But the home side, who had hit both the post and the bar in quick succession through Jane Ross and Lisa Evans, were level on the stroke of half-time when Chelsea's Cuthbert struck from a tight angle, and she doubled her tally 20 minutes after the restart to complete the fightback.
