Despite a loss, Scotland remain positive about their play

On Tuesday night, Scotland played their second game of the tournament.

The result was a 2-1 defeat against the Netherlands, leaving them with two losses from two, and they sit bottom of the Nations League Group A1.

Despite the result, the team remains positive, with Scottish goalkeeper Lee Gibson saying:

"We know Group A in the Nations League is going to be really tough...

But I'm proud of the team, excited about the direction we're going in. It's going to be two really difficult games come April...there's plenty to build on and we're just excited to get back out on the pitch."

Scotland will next play Germany on 4 April.

After a 3-2 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday night, Northern Ireland move up to second in the League B Group 1.

This is their first win in the tournament, as they lost in their Nations League opener to Poland.

The win was a result of two very late goals at 89 minutes, and then in injury time -both goals were from the team captain, Simone Magill.

Northern Ireland are up against Romania on 4 April.

It was thanks to Kayleigh Barton that Wales came from behind on Tuesday to secure a draw against Sweden.

The team were playing in front of a crowd of 6,077 in Wrexham - a record for a home fixture outside of Cardiff.

Sweden took an early lead, but Wales stayed in the game and equalised in the 76th minute from the penalty spot.

Goal scorer Kayleigh Barton said, "Every game we play we've gotten more and more confident, and you can see it's the first time we've ever got a result against Sweden."

Wales are continuing preparations for Euro 2025, having never previously qualified for a women's major tournament.

Their next Nations League match is against Denmark on 4 April.

England played their latest fixture in the league on Wednesday when they took on Spain.

The two teams met in the final of the World Cup in Sydney nearly two years ago where Spain took the win.

But, this time England were victorious winning 1-0, thanks to a goal from winger Jess Park and some solid defence from the team.

The win puts England to second place in their group.

They next play on 4 April against Belgium.
