Up to that point, Slovenia had hogged the ball, but the clash was still neck and neck. In one of the few moves forward by the Scots, they managed to take the lead.
In order to depend on themselves, Scotland needed all three points, and the players were well aware. McArthur headed the ball into the danger area and Griffiths let it run across his body before thumping the ball home emphatically.
The pass caught the Slovenians by surprise, who were more focused on the offside trap than following the Celtic man. Griffiths latched ont the bouncing ball and sent a volley across Oblak and into the back of the net. A crucial goal which could go down in the history of Scottish football.
