    Albania 1-2 Scotland Women

    Jane Ross seizes upon a poor clearance, breaks into the box, but her shot from right of the goal is deflected behind for a corner.

    It's still goalless in Poland...

  2. Postpublished at 84 mins

    Albania Women 1-2 Scotland Women

    There hasn't been a third goal, but Scotland are well in control of this contest. The ball has been in the Albanian half for virtually of the second period and the visitors are winning a host of fouls and corners as their hosts tire.

  3. 'Sensible football'published at 83 mins

    Ten minutes to go, now you're looking at game management. Yes, another goal would be perfect, but if we're not going to get it, then it's just sensible football from now on. Quick, simple passes, when the gap opens up we take advantage, but we shuold be making the ball do the work.

    They're tired and they can't live with our passing ability.

    We need a third goal. It'd just make this last 10 minutes so much more comfortable. But they look very tired, they're not offering anything in attack. It's just whether Scotland can pick that final pass and create a bit more in the final third.

  5. Ten minutes remaining in Polandpublished at 77 mins

    Albania Women 1-2 Scotland

    They're a few minutes ahead of us in Poland, where it's still goalless between the home side and Switzerland.

    In Albania, Scotland are well on top, pressuring their hosts with a series of corners.

    Claire Emslie's looked lively since she's come on. She's not afraid to take the full-back on and she's giving her a torrid time.

  7. CLOSE!published at 74 mins

    Albania Women 1-2 Scotland

    Jennifer Beattie almost makes it 3-1 with another header from a corner. Her effort drifts across the face of goal and wide.

    Jane Ross' well-taken header - at the moment - is sending Scotland to the World Cup finals...

  9. CLOSE!published at 72 mins

    Albania Women 1-2 Scotland Women

    Scotland go close to putting this game beyond doubt as Kim Little's deflected free-kick needs palming away by Rexhepi. The goalkeeper takes a sore one as Erin Cuthbert thunders in to challenge for the rebound.

  10. Scots on top...for nowpublished at 71 mins

    Albania Women 1-2 Scotland Women

    There are about 15 minutes to play in Poland, where Switzerland are still being held at 0-0.

    Scotland are group leaders as it stands, unless the Swiss can score to knock them off top spot.

  11. 'Concentration' key as Scots hit the frontpublished at 70 mins

    It's important now the defenders get the concentration levels up and if in doubt, get it in the corners and squeeze Albania in.

    GOAL Albania Women 1-2 Scotland Womenpublished at 68 mins

    Jane Ross

    There's the breakthrough for Scotland.

    It comes from a free-kick 35 yards out. An excellent swerving ball into the box is met by Jennifer Beattie with a looping volley, and Jane Ross pounces to nod it back across Rexhepi, who had no chance to keep it out.

    As things stand, Scotland are top of Group 2 and heading to the World Cup finals...

  13. On comes Emsliepublished at 66 mins

    Albania Women 1-1 Scotland Women

    Utter chaos in the Albania box in the form of a goalmouth stramash on the six-yard line before the home team manage to scramble it away. It just won't fall for Scotland.

    Claire Emslie, the visitors' second substitution, is on for Lizzie Arnot on the right flank.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 66 mins

    Albania Women 1-1 Scotland Women

    Yet another brilliant stop from debutant Rexhepi, who denies Cuthbert at the near post.

  15. CLOSE!published at 65 mins

    Albania 1-1 Scotland Women

    Scotland piling on the pressure now with a series of raids on the Albania box, primarily stemming from the wide channels. Lisa Evans flights in a cross that Erin Cuthbert meets on the volley, but her effort is deflected wide for a corner which the hosts manage to clear.

  16. Update from Polandpublished at 63 mins

    Albania Women 1-1 Scotland Women

    Nothing continues to happen, with the Swiss registering just three shots on target against Poland's four.

    There is a typically Scottish feel about the afternoon so far, but can Shelley Kerr's side have a fairy tale ending?

  17. Time for reinforcements?published at 63 mins

    The game just seems to be taking a dip just now. Maybe it is time for Shelley Kerr to make a substitution.

  18. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 62 mins

    Albania Women 1-1 Scotland Women

    Bit of discomfort for Arbiona Bajraktari, the defender who has thwarted several highly promising Scotland attacks. The big defender is down nursing what looks to be a dose of cramp, but she'll play on.

  19. 'Patience' keypublished at 61 mins

    It's just having that bit more patience in front of goal. So close to 2-1.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 60 mins

    Albania Women 1-1 Scotland Women

    After some really nice interplay in and around the Albania box, Erin Cuthbert slips Emma Mitchell in to the left of goal.

    Mitchell hammers her left-foot shot off the near post with Rexhepi beaten. That's the sort of patient attacking play that has worked best for Scotland today.
