And it was a relief when it did.
It looked like Cuthbert’s calculated corner was going to be the the difference maker in Morocco, until Nakkach’s equaliser.
In the 40 minutes of football in between the goals, Andreatta’s ambition was not being realised.
Rarely did the Scots seek a second. Instead, they invited the WAFCON runners-up back into the game with a fair few hairy-scary moments before the deserved leveller was lashed in.
In the dying embers of the game, there was an urgency about Scotland’s play which had been absent for the 80 minutes prior.
It led to Weir’s lofted finish – the kind she knocks in for Real Madrid with relative ease – and a lot of relief among the Scotland ranks.
Relief that they’d be arresting this wretched, winless run and relief that they were doing so in the face of adversity.
“Games like this remind me when we played Albania to qualify for the World Cup,” Cuthbert added.
“It might not be pretty, it might not be nice, they get themselves back in the game, but we come up clutch and we go to win it.
“I think now it is about getting wins on the board for us.”
After eight games without a win, this one was more than needed.
A bleak Nations League campaign followed a failure against Finland to qualify for Euro 2025. The last celebrated result was at Easter Road against Hungary in the second leg of the Euros semi-final play-off.
That night in the capital – where hopes were high with a bounty of belief in tow – turned out to be the highest point Pedro Martinez Losa’s reign reached.
Against the Finns, Scotland were flat. Cuthbert and Weir were left annoyed as they were unable to make an impact and therefore were once again left out of the continental spotlight in the summer.
Why it doesn’t consistently click for the country’s creative pair remains a mystery.
But if Andreatta is able to crack that code, and oversee the beginning of a beautiful friendship, there will no doubt be many more fist pumps from the touchline on the full-time whistle, as there was in Casablanca.
