Women's Nations League relegation 'a learning moment', says Scotland boss
- Published
Scotland competed well in Belgium but could not find a winner
Scotland's relegation to Women's Nations League B is "a moment of learning", says head coach Pedro Martinez Losa.
Friday's 1-1 draw away to Belgium ensured the Scots will finish bottom of Group A1, with one more game to play against England on Tuesday.
Erin Cuthbert's stunning strike secured a second point in the section.
"What we want is to qualify for the Euros - now we need to pick up another route," said Martinez Losa.
"We have a very young group. We have been living good moments and bad moments on and off the pitch.
"It's a moment of learning. It's a moment to be ready for the next challenge that's coming up.
"I think it was a very competitive game as we have seen in all the Nations League games. I think we did more than enough to win this game. That's football. Belgium is a very good team. We showed a little more [than them].
"We have to keep going. We have an important game on Tuesday. We have to recharge the batteries."
Lauder's Scotland return 'amazing'
Substitute Hayley Lauder ended a three-year absence from the side as a substitute in Leuven.
And the Glasgow City veteran said: "Result aside, it is amazing to be back. I started to think it wouldn't happen.
"I have to thank Glasgow City, they kept me going and kept me believing. I was surprised, but I don't want to come back and just go away with the team, I want to help.
"For big spells of the game we were in it. We created a lot of opportunities but that final touch and final pass let us down. Ultimately, it's disappointing.
"This is what we need to show every game. The game on Tuesday night means a lot to us."
