Scott Brown's third goal for Scotland, scored on 61 minutes, won the game, but he should not have even been on the pitch. Midway through the first half the Celtic midfielder, who is serving a three-match Champions League ban for kicking out at Barcelona's Neymar, did the same to Norway defender Vegard Forren, but the incident was missed by the referee.
Captain Brown went on to fire home a well-struck right-foot shot. It came against the run of play and in the final minute Anders Konradse missed a sitter from which he should have equalised. The win extended Gordon Strachan's side's unbeaten run to four.
