Match report frome UEFA:

Scotland humble France at home

James McFadden's stunning strike midway through the second half gave Scotland a win in France that takes them top of UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifying Group B.

Scotland hold out
The home side had the lion's share of the play but could not beat the stubborn visiting defence. And just as they had against France in Glasgow a year ago, Scotland scored a timely goal for a 1-0 victory – these results being the only qualifying defeats for Les Bleus, home or away, since 1999. Scotland are now top and a point above Italy, with France having fallen two places to third with three games left.

Stout defending
Having drawn in Italy on Saturday to stay in pole position, France were clearly keen for three points to lift them to within sight of the finals. But despite dominating possession and territory, they created little in the way of clear-cut chances in the first half, perhaps missing the suspended Thierry Henry. Florent Malouda did force Craig Gordon into a save while Claude Makelele volleyed over, but that was as close as France came before the break.

Gordon saves
A neat one-two with David Trezeguet on 55 minutes set up Franck Ribéry but the FC Bayern München forward's angled shot was well stopped by Gordon, as was his effort on the rebound. Soon after, Lassana Diarra and Ribéry combined to supply Nicolas Anelka near the penalty spot yet Gordon pushed the ball over the bar.

Dramatic strike
Then came the sucker punch. McFadden let fly from distance with such ferocity that Mickaël Landreau could only tip the ball into his own top right-hand corner. It was all France thereafter, but Scotland's rearguard remained unbreachable. On 13 October Scotland welcome Ukraine hoping to close in on their first final tournament since 1998 while France go to the Faroe Islands.

Scotland beats Lithuania 3-1 in Euro 2008 qualifier

From FoxSports: GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Shaun McManus and James McFadden scored second-half goals Saturday to lead Scotland over Lithuania 3-1 in a European Championship qualifying match.
Kris Boyd gave Scotland the lead in the 31st minute with a header off a Darren Fletcher free kick, but Tomas Danivelicius equalized in the 61st after Fletcher was whistled for a penalty for bringing down Saulius Mikoliunas. Television replays showed minimal contact between the two players.

"It would have been sickening to drop points because of that," Fletcher said. "We've got to be bigger than that and show character and come back from it."

The Scot's pressured after conceding the penalty and McManus made it 2-1 in the 77th by knocking in a cross from substitute Shaun Maloney. McFadden added a third goal in the 83rd minute with a shot from just outside the penalty area.

Lithuania rarely threatened Scotland's side of the field in the first half. In the second, the Scots looked content to keep the ball away from their opponents.

Scotland is still in contention for a spot in the final tournament from Group B, along with World Cup finalists Italy and France. Scotland, which has 18 points from eight matches, faces France next Wednesday.

"It's still going to take a lot for us to be there," Fletcher said. "We want to be there and we're going to give it our best shot."
