    For large parts of the first half it was torturous to watch. Stuart Armstrong has been outstanding, what a magnificent pass to Che Adams. It's easy street now.

    Brilliant counter-attack initiated by Stuart Armstrong, who has been man of the match. He drives past his man and sets up Che Adams. It's a really good finish and great for Adams to get a goal.

    Che Adams

    Emphatic counter-attack.

    Stuart Armstrong is key again as he bursts forward with the ball and sends his club team-mate Che Adams through on the left.

    The striker carries the ball into the box and bends a left-foot finish into the far corner.

    Two goals in three minutes.

    John McGinn

    Another superb finish.

    Greg Taylor's ball to the back post is cushioned by Nathan Patterson to John McGinn, who takes one touch, swivels and drives in a close-range finish.

    Game over, surely?

    Tidy build-up from Scotland ends with John McGinn guiding a ball to the back post.

    Just a bit much on it for Greg Taylor to do anything, though.

    Billy Gilmour attempts to play Che Adams over the top and it looks the striker is in.

    The home keeper gets there first but the flag is up anyway.

    It's an incredible strike from Armstrong. He's going to ground but it's not fortunate, he knows exactly what he's doing. He gets the right foot on it and guides it into the far corner. We've got out of jail a little bit.

    It'll be a body blow for Armenia. They've fought so hard and played well and now they've got the double blow from the red card and goal. That's why I like Stuart Armstrong in the team. He's a goal threat and always on the move. His second was a wonderful finish.

  15. HALF-TIME: Armenia 1-2 Scotlandpublished at 17:48 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    Scotland will be wondering how they've got into the break in the lead. Steve Clarke's side have had to fight back after a shambolic start.

    Stuart Armstrong cancelled out Bichakhchyan's opener before Armenia full-back Hovhannisyan was shown two yellow cards in a matter of seconds.

    And Armstrong's second of the game a minute later has turned the game around.

    Stuart Armstrong

    This game has just completely turned on its head.

    What a finish it is from Stuart Armstrong, who takes a pass in the box from John McGinn and shows excellent close control before burying into the far corner on the slide.

    Armenia 1-1 Scotland

    A moment of madness.

    Hovhannisyan slides into a late challenge on Nathan Patterson. Clear yellow card.

    The full-back then proceeds to run up to John McGinn and put his head against the stand-in Scotland skipper.

    The referee has no choice but to show a second yellow.

    Armenia have picked it up again as Dashyan's low ball to the back most is narrowly missed by the sliding Bichakhchyan.

    Armenia 1-1 Scotland

    Scott McTominay sends John McGinn into the box with a defence-splitting pass.

    The Aston Villa man tries to play the ball across to Che Adams for a tap in but the Armenia defence get it behind again.

    The Scots fail to make anything of the corner.
