🎥 30 years since the infamous match: When Scotland won after three seconds While October 9 holds no special memories for most people, it is a special day for anyone who supports the Tartan Army. Today marks the 30th anniversary of the "one team in Tallinn" scandal. During qualifying for the 1998 World Cup, Scotland were due to face Estonia. However, after a problem was discovered with the floodlights at Kadriorg Stadium, the match was brought forward from 6:45 pm to 3:00 pm the day before kick-off. So far, so good. Or perhaps not so good. Faced with the risk of losing television revenue, the Estonian football association did not want the match to go ahead. Scotland manager Brown later said he had expected the Estonians to turn up and then protest at the ground. But it never even got that far. At the scheduled 3 pm kick-off, there was no sign of the home team. The match was called off after three seconds, and Scotland were initially believed to have been awarded the win. 📸 Ben Radford The emphasis is on initially. FIFA ordered a replay between the two teams, which later ended in a 0–0 draw on neutral ground in Monaco. Now it's your turn: Had you heard this bizarre story before?
