SCOTT McTominay scored Scotland's sixth-ever goal at the Euros tournament – but BBC feed blunder had it down as an own goal.
It didn’t take Steve Clarke’s men long to go ahead in a must-win match against Switzerland this evening.
The Manchester United midfielder finished off a good move from Scotland as they hit Switzerland on the counterattack, led by captain and Liverpool star Andrew Robertson.
McTominay arrived at the top of the box and saw his deflected shot soar into the top left corner of the net after just 13 minutes of play.
Schar managed to get a foot to the ball, but it was to no avail.
Thousands of Tartan Army fans were ecstatic to go 1-0 ahead against the Swiss and believed it was McTominay who came to the country’s aid once again.
However, the BBC credited the goal as an own goal against Fabian Schar instead. Even the commentors Liam McLeod and Neil McCann were confused at how the goal wasn’t awarded to McTominay.
Presenter Gabby Logan also echoed that the game opener was an own goal by Schar.
But UEFA have officially ruled it as a McTominay goal.
Scotland’s hopes were short lived in the first half as it wasn’t long until Switzerland levelled with a wonderful strike from Xherdan Shaqiri.
