Hampden Park
Second Half
46' - 58'
Scotland came out as physical as before, but England weren't surprised by it now, and Demien played with cleaner timing — taking the contact, releasing before the hit landed, then moving again, neither hiding from the ball nor holding it to prove a point.
The midfield turned into a proper fight, and his Arturo Vidal's Warrior Spirit took over in the duels. In the fifty-fourth minute Scotland tried to break through the center off a loose England pass, McGinn driving at the gap, and Demien stepped into him to win the ball back — lowering his frame, his 81 Strength holding McGinn off long enough to shield it and roll it back to Rice before the Scot could recover his footing. Hampden booed him hard for it, wanting him rattled, and he gave them nothing, jogging straight back into shape.
England began to stretch them. Saka stayed wide, Rashford pinned the far side, Kane dropped and turned, Bellingham carried whenever the middle opened.
