Thomas scores again for Scotland in EURO 2025 play-off win

Martha Thomas’ prolific run in the UEFA EURO 2025 qualifying campaign continued on Tuesday evening as Scotland’s 5-0 aggregate win over Anna Csiki’s Hungary secured their place in the final round of the play-offs.

Having found the back of the net in the first leg in Budapest just four days before, the 28-year-old netted the final goal of the evening at Hibernian’s Easter Road, taking her goal tally to seven in the qualifying stage.

Just after the hour mark in Edinburgh, Kirsty Hanson’s effort from the edge of the box was deflected into the path of Martha, who took one touch before calmly slotting the ball into the bottom left corner.

Our number 17 went on to complete 85 minutes for Pedro Martinez Losa’s side, while Anna started for Hungary on the night before being substituted midway through the second half.

Eveliina started and completed 90 minutes in Finland’s 5-0 win over Montenegro - 6-0 on aggregate - at Tammelan Stadion on Tuesday, while Olga remained as an unused substitute.
