Holland's Robin van Persie admits Scotland were robbed of a "good" goal in Saturday's World Cup qualifier in Amsterdam.
George Burley's men were trailing by two goals when Gary Caldwell thought he had pulled a goal back - only to watch in disbelief as the effort was disallowed by French referee Laurent Duhamel.
Holland killed the game off a couple of minutes later and both Caldwell and Burley were furious at the controversial decision after the 3-0 defeat.
Van Persie told the Daily Record: "The goal Scotland scored was good - I didn't see anything unusual when I watched the replay on television."
And he also seemed to agree with Burley that goalkeeper Allan McGregor had been blocked on his line when he netted Holland's second on the stroke of half-time.
Van Persie added: "Klaas-Jan Huntelaar made a good block. There were still two players in front of me and one other there but I was able to make it."
