Kenny McLean scored the fifth and final penalty for Scotland
Scotland's football team are just one game away from their first major finals since 1998.
They beat Israel in their first ever penalty shootout at Hampden, with Kenny McLean scoring the fifth of five perfect penalties.
The last time Scotland played in a major championship was 23 years ago at the 1998 World Cup in France.

It was a goalless game though, with only one of the 29 shots on target - and that was from Israel.
But Scotland are now on a six-game unbeaten run and will play Serbia in the play-off finals.
What about Northern Ireland, England and Wales?
Northern Ireland beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-3 on penalties, meaning they will go through to the next stage of Euro 2020 qualifying, facing Slovakia in the play-off final in November.

England beat Wales 3-0, with two more goals from Conor Coady and Danny Ings.

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all play in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday.
