  1. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Five minutes to go and Scotland look out of ideas. They just haven't had the same zip and energy in the second half.

  2. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Wait a minute, here's a chance for Scotland as Oli McBurnie snaffles up possession from a Slovakia slip. He knocks the ball into the path of Leigh Griffiths but it just rolls away from the striker and a defender gets there before him on the edge of the box.

  3. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Slovakia are holding on to the ball without too much trouble as time ticks away.

  4. 'Scotland still chapping at the door'

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It just gets more difficult. They've got plenty of men back, they've got a decent shape and there's just not too much room. Scotland are still chapping at the door. At this stage, a draw would be a good result for us

  5. YELLOW CARD - Mazan (Slovakia)

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    A horrible hack at the heels of Ryan Christie from home left-back Robert Mazan.

  6. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    A deep cross from Kieran Tierney falls for Leigh Griffiths inside the penalty box but the sub has a tame prod at it with his weaker right foot. Scotland keep the pressure up and a shot from Stuart Armstrong is deflected wide.

  7. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    It's just not happening for Scotland at the moment as they struggle to find any cohesion.

  8. Griffiths on for Scotland

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Steve Clarke is going for it now, with striker Leigh Griffiths on for defender Andrew Considine.

  9. YELLOW CARD - Duda (Slovakia)

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    It's all a bit scrappy now as Ondrej Duda is the latest player booked for a hack at John McGinn.

  10. CLOSE!

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Again, there is a lot of room for Slovakia to have a shot. Patrik Hrosovsky hammers one in from 22 yards and it skips just wide, with Craig Gordon at full stretch.

  11. GREAT SAVE!

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Kieran Tierney powers down the left to deliver a great cross. Kenny McLean gets plenty of purchase on the header and goalkeeper Marek Rodak keeps it out with a flying save.

  12. YELLOW CARD - Pekarik (Slovakia)

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    A poor touch from Peter Pekarik just inside his own half and he has to hack down Ryan Christie to try and recover the situation.

  13. 'Progressive play from Scotland'

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    The half-time team talk has been to play the higher line and try and get more midfield players in contact with the front three, which is really progressive play from Scotland

  14. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Scotland are sitting off a bit around their own penalty area and Marek Hamik has plenty of time to line up a shot. Straight at Craig Gordon this time.

  15. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    A nice move from Scotland culminates with Stuart Armstrong smashing a low ball in from the right. Kenny McLean is leaning back as it reaches him near the penalty spot and he can only blaze wide.

  16. Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Jan Gregus fancies a second goal as he lets fly from 20 yards but this time his shot goes high and wide.

  17. KICK-OFF

    Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    We're off again. Can Scotland find a way back?

  18. 'Things clicking for Clarke'

  19. 'Composure needed from Scots'

    HT: Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    I'm hopeful that we can win this match. I feel that there's enough there and we've got enough control of the game. If we had a little bit more composure in the penalty box, we would've scored one, maybe two goals by now

  20. Reasons for optimism

    HT: Slovakia 1-0 Scotland

    Scotland have definitely been the more menacing side, so it's frustrating to be behind but there are reasons to be cheerful and positive about finding a way back.

    Oli McBurnie has had a couple of chances but was just a fraction too slow to get a shot away before his firm header went straight at the keeper.

    Liam Palmer also had a good sight at goal but went with his right foot when it was all set up for a left foot finish.
