Scrapy doesn't return meta property tag

I'm currently trying to retrieve a meta property tag along with some values from the script tag. The values from the script tag work just fine. I have a problem only with the meta property tag. I've written an xpath for it, for it seems it doesn't work because it return "None". The line I've talking about is: 

name = response.xpath("//meta[@name='og:country-name']/@content").extract_first()

The meta property from the page is:

<meta property="og:country-name" content="al">

I want to retrieve the content inside it.

Thank you!

Attribute is not a name, but property, so just replace

"//meta[@name='og:country-name']/@content"

with

"//meta[@property='og:country-name']/@content"
