Alex Pearce nets the winner for Scotland Under 19s

by Jock Royal » 26 May 2007 22:27

Scotland's Under-19s kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the European Championship finals with victory over Georgia at McDiarmid Park.
Revazi Barabadze gave Georgia the lead by half-time, but Leva Mchedlidze was sent off and goals from Fraser McLaren and Alex Pearce secured the win.

Scotland had lost their opening game 2-1 to Turkey on Wednesday.

Now they must defeat Portugal on Monday if they are to have any chance of reaching the next phase.

Portugal, who drew 0-0 with Georgia in their first game, had defeated the Turks 1-0 at Dens Park.

Even if Scotland win at McDiarmid Park on Monday, Turkey will qualify if they beat Georgia thanks to a better head-to-head record.

Scotland manager Archie Knox said: "We've played better in other games, but after Georgia got an early goal they were sitting back, hoping to hit us on the break.

"When Georgia had a player sent-off, they sat even deeper, but we came back into it and eventually got the winner at the end of the game."

Good night for Reading players, again! I hope we loan Pearce out again this coming season and this time to a Championship club. He really does look to have the potential to make it at a high level.
