It's far too easy at the moment. The players haven't got themselves together from the last goal. Every time Spain go up the pitch they look as if they are going to score. Very worrying times just now.

Alexia Putellas
Getting embarrassing.
Heads have gone. The Ballon d'Or winner sweeps home a cut back as she joins the party.

It is too easy, she is going through us unchallenged. You can start to see the heads going down now at 5-0.

Aitana Bonmati
Oh dear.
Amazing skill from Bonmati who skips away from three players and shoots, only for Lee Alexander to save her shot and the follow up.
But she gets another attempt and somehow has time to take a touch and lash home.

Scotland don't cover themselves in glory here.
Alexia Putellas beautifully touches the ball away from Rachel Corise, squeaks the ball back and Sophie Howard again hesitates when she should thump it clear, and Sarriegi Isasa touches the ball over the line for her second goal.

I thought it was a goal, that was going to be 4-0 if it wasn't for Christie Murray. She just gets her right foot down to hook it away from danger.
CLOSE!published at 54 mins
Spain 3-0 Scotland
Christie Murray is on to try and score up the other end, but she's the hero in defence as she hooks Alexia Putellas' header off the line.
Could be a long second half for Scotland.
GREAT SAVE!published at 52 mins

Lee Alexander is forced to leap into action and push behind Mariona Caldentey's curling effort.
Great effort. Nice stop.
Corsie struggling?published at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2021

It's nice to keep the captain Rachel Corsie in the back line amongst all the changes. She does look like she's struggling but she hasn't called over any of the physio staff over and she is going to soldier on.

Aitana Bonmati plays a quick one-two then jinks past Nicola Docherty, who recovers well.
Spain are slick.

Spain pick up where they left off as Rachel McLauchlan is forced to slide in and concede a corner, which Scotland eventually scramble clear.
Three changes for Scotlandpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2021
Spain 3-0 Scotland
Caroline Weir, Lisa Robertson, and Abi Harrison are off for Scotland. Christie Murray, Christy Grimshaw, and Lucy Graham are on.
Tactical? Or giving out opportunities?
KICK-OFFpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2021

Players are back out and off we go again.
The question is how many of these Spain goal graphics am I going to need in this second half?
Will the shiny Scotland one get an outing?

Can Jane Ross come on for us in a forward role to hold up the ball and get us up the pitch? She's vastly experienced and has played in big matches. I don't think Pedro will change too much about how we play in the second half though.

We were defending for really long spells, without any periods of possession. I'm not convinced with the front two. Harrison and Evans don't look like a partnership with Weir ending up the furthest forward.

It could be worse, you could be Latvia right now and be losing 20-0 to England...

The third goal is hugely disappointing as it has come from an error. Corsie should just deal with it in the first phase out wide, and it leads to an error in the clearance between Docherty and Howard.
HALF-TIME - Spain 3-0 Scotlandpublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2021
Scotland are being taught a lesson here.
It started so brightly too, with the visitors pressing early and hitting the bar through Abi Harrison. Ever since, though, it's been one-way traffic.
Game over, effectively.
