Slovakia 1-0 Scotland
Scotland look for a quick response and here comes Liam Palmer charging in from the right but he takes an awkward swipe at it rather than going with his left foot.
Soon after, Palmer delivers a good cross for Oli McBurnie to attack but the header from 10 yards goes straight at the keeper.

Willie Miller
Former Scotland defender on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageHe's taken it well. Maybe Scotland playing too high a line. Gregus just sees a little pocket of space and it takes a little deflection
GOAL Slovakia 1-0 Scotlandpublished at 30 mins
Jan Gregus
A bit of sucker punch as Jan Gregus tries his luck with a shot from just outside the box. There are plenty of Scotland players in the way but it takes a slight deflection off Kenny McLean and flies low into the corner of the net, with Craig Gordon wrong-footed.

YELLOW CARD Armstrong (Scotland)published at 29 mins
Slovakia 0-0 Scotland
Stuart Armstrong protests his innocence but the referee is having none of it as he is booked for blocking off an opponent.
It's very soft and it means he misses Wednesday's visit to Israel through suspension.

This is a good wee spell for Scotland. Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie combine well down the left and a defender on the stretch manages to intercept a clever cut-back, with Stuart Armstrong waiting to pounce.

Slovakia 0-0 Scotland
Stuart Armstrong slips a cute pass through to Oli McBurnie but the striker is too slow to get a shot away and a covering defender gets a foot in.
McBurnie had the chance to strike it first time but wanted a touch with just the goalie to beat.
