Advantage Scotland as they await Cuthbert injury newsTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedFigure caption, Watch the goals as Scotland beat Israel 6-0ByClive LindsayBBC Sport ScotlandPublished19 minutes agoGiven the lack of fans, the hush that engulfed the Bozsik Arena in Hungary was even more eerie than it would have been as Erin Cuthbert went down clutching her right leg.Only a handful of friends and family were allowed into the 8,000-capacity stadium to witness what was deemed to be Scotland's home World Cup qualifier against Israel at the home of Honved.They were stunned into silence along with her team-mates as the Chelsea midfielder's cries of pain echoed round the stands.Scotland were well on their way to the handsome 6-0 victory they needed to stay top of European qualifying Group B4 ahead of Belgium.With goal difference paramount, creative livewire Cuthbert was making one last push to stretch the lead when she went down as if struck by lightning under an innocuous challenge.Her reaction, though, immediately suggested the impact as she hit the ground was far greater.
An assumption confirmed by the subsequent stretcher from which she departed the scene in obvious agony.Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta was not willing to speculate on "how it pans out" amid the news that Cuthbert was on her way to hospital.Forward Kirsty Hanson, who scored Scotland's sixth goal, would only say: "She is being well looked after, so let's hope there is good news."However, you could tell from their faces, and subdued delight at such an important victory, that they feared the worst.Weir scores hat-trick as Scotland hit Israel for sixBelgium defeat Luxembourg 6-0To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedFigure caption, Melissa Andreatta looks for further improvements after Scotland thrash IsraelScotland rarely seem to have major ups without a corresponding down and this was another of those occasions.Some of the gloom as they awaited news of the extent of Cuthbert's injury would have been lifted by the result from the later kick-off at Den Dreef Stadion.While Belgium recorded an expected victory at home to Luxumbourg, they only defeated the group's bottom-placed side 6-0.
Normally a handsome scoreline, but this was a side Scotland crushed 7-0 at Hampden.Scotland started the night four goals better off than the Belgians – and it stayed that way going into the final round of fixtures on Tuesday.Belgium will be favourites to boost their goal difference once more when they again face Luxembourg, but this time it is away from home.Scotland, meanwhile, have their "away" game against Israel at the same Hungarian venue thanks to Uefa deciding that all the Middle East team's games must be played at neutral venues for security reasons.Andreatta stressed that "we'll keep fine-tuning our final-third actions" between now and Tuesday to improve that goal difference."The performance was what we were looking for," the head coach told BBC Scotland."The game started really fast.
