    HT: Scotland 0-1 Portugal

    I thought it was quite disciplined from Scotland. There wasn't that crazy disorientation we saw in Israel and this side is better. But they got suckered Scotland at the end. They had a couple of chances and it's a well-worked goal. It's a horrible time for Scotland after doing a lot of decent things. It's a familiar positions, it's a real kick in the teeth

  4. HALF-TIME Scotland 0-1 Portugal

    It had looked promising for Scotland, but a debut goal for Helder Costa gives Portugal the lead at the break.

    Alex McLeish's side, anxious to make amends for Thursday's defeat in Israel, started well, although the only save goalkeeper Beto had to make was from the head of his own midfielder, Sergio Oliveira.

    Scotland had the better of the early possession, but a Portugal side almost completely changed from their win over Poland gradually began to threaten and got their reward just before the break.

    Wolves forward Costa had been quiet before providing a real sickener for the home side.

    GOAL Scotland 0-1 Portugal

    Helder Costa

    The warning signs have been there and Portugal make the breakthrough.

    Kevin Rodriguez whips in a low cross and Helder Costa stabs it home from close range after holding off the challenge of Andy Robertson.

  6. 'A big moment'

    That's a big moment. He manages to wriggle some room, McKenna loses his balances but by the time he recovers Eder has had the strike.

  7. GREAT SAVE!

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Bruma turns provider and finds strike partner Eder deep inside the penalty box.

    Despite the presence of Scott McKenna, the Lokomotiv Moscow man manages to shoot on the turn.

    Fortunately for Scotland, it is straight at Craig Gordon and the goalkeeper manages to beat it away.

  8. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Portugal go close and it is that man Bruma again.

    The Leipzig forward is showing he a nippy character inside the penalty box and meets a low cross to the front post but can only flick his shot wide.

  9. 'A good chance'

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Willie Miller

    It was a good chance, but he was a little bit unfortunate. He had to stoop down quite low. Scotland are playing with a lot of confidence and enthusiasm. James Forrest has been at the heart of it

  10. CLOSE!

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    James Forrest, on a high after last weekend's four goals for Celtic, curls in a cross that finds Steven Naismith 12 yards out.

    It is slightly behind the forward, but he stoops athletically to flick a header that curls wide of Portugal's far post.

    We have fallen out the game a bit. Portugal have upped the tempo and it is important we get back on the ball

  13. 'Scotland on top'

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    Solid start by Scotland. All of that defensive disorientation we saw against Israel on Thursday is not in evidence so far tonight. Four at the back this time, of course. A long way to go, but, if anything, you’d say that the Scots are on top

  14. CLOSE!

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Sergio Oliveira's through ball causes Scotland more problems and, when the ball falls to Bruma, the striker ought to do better than drive low past the far post from 15 yards out.

  15. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    A cleverly chipped pass finds Bruma drifting in behind the Scottish defence, but the Leipzig forward is unable to control and it rests in the arms of goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

    An offside flag might have been risen had he gathered in any case.

  16. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Portugal's turn to throw a hopeful cross into the penalty box, but Eder heads well wide under pressure from Scott McKenna.

  17. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Andy Robertson's cross finds Steven Naismith this time, but the Hearts forward gets his header all wrong and it flies high into the sunny evening sky.

  18. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Scotland create a threat of their own as Scott McKenna rises at the back post but heads straight at goalkeeper Beto.

  19. GREAT SAVE!

    Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    So close to a stunning own goal. Sergio Oliviera rises to meet a James Forrest cross and the Porto midfielder heads powerfully towards the Portuguese net before goalkeeper Beto rises to tip it over the crossbar.

  20. Scotland 0-0 Portugal

    Portugal win a free-kick 18 yards from goal as Scott McKenna makes a clumsy challenge from behind on Eder.

    Sergio Oliviera's free-kick is straight into the Scotland wall and the first real goal threat is averted.
