Scotland produced a spirited performance to come from behind and hold
three-times champions Germany to a 1-1 draw, leaving their Euro 2004 qualifying
Group Five wide open. The result means Germany remain top of the group on eight
points from four games, while Scotland are second with eight from five.
Germany went ahead in the 23rd minute at Hampden Park on Saturday when poor
marking allowed striker Freddie Bobic to head home a tempting Torsten Frings
cross - the only real chance for either side in fiercely contested but scrappy
first half. A booking for Frings later means he is suspended from Wednesday's
match against the Faroe Islands.
Scotland, coached by Germany's Euro 96-winning coach Berti Vogts, continued to
work hard and compete for every ball after the break and equalised 20 minutes
from time when Kenny Miller latched on to a free-kick from Colin Cameron to
shoot low past Oliver Kahn.
