Wales Silence Tartan Army To Snatch Dramatic World Cup Win.

Special Report from Anfield. World Cup Qualifier 1977: Wales 2-1 Scotland

Wales could have been forgiven for thinking they had made the biggest mistake in their history by switching this game from Wrexham to Anfield because of gate receipts. ??But as it turned out it will be Scotland fans singing 'don't cry for me Argentina,' after seeing their team run out losers in an incident packed World Cup qualifier on Merseyside.

With Anfield a sea of blue and tartan, it was Scotland who immediately felt at home, but two brilliant strikes from John Toshack ultimately silenced the Tartan Army and sent Wales to their first World Cup Finals in 20 years.

Wales had started the better side, brimming with confidence on the back of a six game unbeaten run, but the tide appeared to turn for Scotland when Joe Jordan won an appeal for handball and the referee pointed to the spot. Scottish celebrations were short lived, however, when the Video Ref ruled that it was Jordan who had used his hand and the Scottish striker ended up with a yellow card instead of a penalty. ??Scotland were still protesting when winger Mickey Thomas put Toshack through for Wales first goal. Kenny Dalglish equalised for Scotland, but Wales were not going to be denied and Toshack sealed a memorable victory with his second of the night.
