Pedro Martinez Losa is now under mounting pressure having gone winless in his last nine games as manager
The Dark Blues were hoping to join the likes of heavyweights Spain, England and France at next summer's tournament in Switzerland. But a slow start proved costly as the Finns triumphed on home soil after securing a 0-0 at Hibs' Easter Road last Friday. The hosts started brightly in Helsinki as Sanni Franssi hit the bar in the first few minutes. The positive opening was rewarded by Natalia Kuikka who struck into the net from 25 yards.
Scotland pressed in the second half but last ditch defending by the Finn's was just enough to see them over the line. Scotland had 19 shots on the night in Helsinki but couldn't make the breakthrough. The biggest talking point of the game was the penalty call that never was on the stroke of half time. Erin Cuthbert dribbled into the box before the ball bounced up and struck the raised arm of Finland midfielder Ria Oling.
Despite Scotland's absence, Record Sport has all the details to make sure you don't miss a moment of action.
