Quote MessageIt's a harsh yellow for Patterson to be shown. But it's maybe best that he misses the Denmark game and not a possible play-off game now.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Nathan Patterson will be suspended for Denmark's trip to Hampden on Monday.
The goalscorer trips Marandici and he's in the book. The resulting Moldova delivery from the deep free-kick is straight into Craig Gordon's arms.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Stuart Armstrong attempts to guide the ball in low from the corner, but it's pretty poor.
Set pieces haven't been the best tonight.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Like the majority of the first half, Scotland are dominating the ball as Nathan Patterson's cross evades everyone in the box.
Kieran Tierney wins a corner.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Stunning deep ball in from John McGinn to Che Adams.
The Southampton man should probably hit it first time but he takes a touch and doesn't get a shot off.
Really should have a goal or two to his name tonight.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland

Back under way in Chisinau.
Don't want to get greedy, but can we make this more comfortable?
HT: Moldova 0-1 Scotland

BBC Scotland's chief sports writer
Quote MessageI think Scotland have been really good, their intent from the off was serious. They were trying to just go after them and not ease their way in. What a brilliant goal it was too, Patterson's confidence levels are through the roof regardless of if he's playing or not.
HT: Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Craig Levein
Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageWe started much brighter than we usually do but, after 20 minutes or so, the pendulum swung for the Moldovans. We can't afford to give up chances to them and that's when they had their best spell.

Nothing to see here, just two performance school graduates living the dream.

Quote MessageThe space is definitely down the flanks against them. Whenever we get someone running beyond they can't deal with it. No more than we deserve to be up at half-time.
How are we feeling?
That goal has calmed me down, but if we don't find another I might be struggling during this second half.
We're all in this together, troops.
Moldova v Scotland (17:00)
Bit of half-time reading, anyone?
The Tartan Army Sunshine appeal - a charity set up by Scotland fans in 2003 - are making their 88th consecutive donation this weekend in Moldova.
It's a truly remarkable achievement from the group. We found out more about their contribution and the history of the charity after a discussion with chairman Neil Forbes.

Quote MessageIt was an excellent goal and finish from Patterson and it's what Scotland deserved. There were a couple of scary moments but Gordon's save was incredible. Almost a perfect first half you could say.

Tom English
BBC Scotland's chief sports writer at the Zimbru stadium
We're incredibly close to the pitch here at the Zimbru and I think I can say this, without fear of contradiction, Artur Ionita - Moldova's attacking midfielder - is the shoutiest man in football.
It's non-stop yelping from the big man. No idea what he's saying but the wild gesticulations and the demonic eyes and endless howling suggest that he's not best pleased with the service he's getting.
Nathan Patterson's brilliant opener brought a guttural roar from one of the Moldovans. I couldn't see who it was - too busy marvelling at the cool finish - but my money is on Ionita.

Quote MessageIf it hadn't been for Craig Gordon's heroics, we may well have been going into the break at 1-1. But there have been plenty of positives for Scotland.
We can relax a bit more going into the break as Nathan Patterson's first Scotland goal has Steve Clarke's men ahead in Moldova.
The Scots have comfortably merited their lead after creating a host of chances.
But there have been a couple of scares for Clarke's backline. This one is far from over.

Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Billy Gilmour picks out his long-time pal Nathan Patterson with a gorgeous ball.
But the Rangers man's touch is off and the ball goes out. Approaching half-time. Two minutes added.
Moldova 0-1 Scotland
Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageIt was so important to get a goal in the first half. I think we'll create as many chances after the break as we have already. Hopefully we can take them.

Quote MessageWhat a brilliant bit of play from Scotland, absolutely magnificent! On his weaker foot, the finish is emphatic. What a time to score.
