The German team was forced to land in Edinburgh due to an emergency. The team was heading home after a 4-0 win over Iceland.
The KlasJet flight left Reykjavik at 2 am and was heading to Frankfurt. However, the plane faced difficulty approximately three miles west of Arbroath.
As a result, the plane had to make an abrupt turn between Dundee and Arbroath before taking 20 minutes to land in Edinburgh at 4 am. Meanwhile, the reason as to why there was an emergency is still not clear.
The German team has confirmed the emergency landing through their official Twitter handle.
