For Abigail Harrison and Scotland, the moment was worth waiting for. This World Cup playoff semi-final had rumbled into extra time before Harrison stooped to head in Erin Cuthbert’s corner. Austria appealed in vain for a handball as Harrison enjoyed euphoric celebration.Scotland will return to Hampden Park on Tuesday, when they will face the Republic of Ireland for a possible berth in Australia and New Zealand next summer. The element of doubt stems from a ludicrously confusing playoff process.On this evidence, the Scots would not trouble the leading lights in the tournament proper but focusing on such shortcomings would be churlish. Scotland emerged from this dour, tense battle. Semi-finals are rarely pretty. This one was played in front of 10,182; a record for a Scottish women’s competitive game.

Scotland coach Pedro Martinez Losa: "The mental strength helped us find the result against a very difficult opponent. We know Republic of Ireland well. It's time to rest first, recover players and get the energy again and go."

Scotland captain Rachel Corsie: "We knew they would make it difficult. The conditions didn't make it easy. The pitch was soft. We managed the game fairly well for the most part. Abi changed the game, she was excellent. She deserved the goal."
