Belgium beat Russia on penalties in the Pinatar Cup Final, Scotland also won a shoot-out to finish fifth ahead of Hungary.

The last two placement matches of the tournament in Spain were both goalless draws and it needed sudden-death penalties before Belgium and Russia could be separated, the Red Flames eventually winning 7-6.

Scotland’s shoot-out was faster in finding a winner, as Hungary only netted one of their spot-kicks as Pedro Martinez Losa’s side won 3-1.
