Should Scotland have had two penalties & been playing against 10 men?

Scotland lost 1-0 to Morocco in their second World Cup finals match, prompting analysis of two key incidents: a potential penalty award for Scotland and a red card decision against a Moroccan player. The first incident involved a challenge on Scotland's Scott McTominay in the 77th minute, which some observers believe warranted a penalty. The second incident, occurring in the 27th minute, saw a Moroccan player receive a yellow card for a foul on McTominay, with questions raised about whether the foul should have resulted in a red card. These decisions, according to analysis, significantly impacted the game's outcome, with Scotland failing to secure a draw or a win. The match was part of the World Cup finals, a major international football tournament.
