BBC Scotland at Hampden ParkOne large, sharp intake of breath was taken by the near entirety of Hampden.
I'm still not entirely sure what happened there, but both sides have had huge let-offs.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
Scotland 0-0 Republic of Ireland
Wow, haven't ever seen that before.
Megan Campbell hurls a long throw into the Scotland box. It misses everyone, including a couple of Irish bodies who almost look to get out the way, before going straight into the net without a touch.
Either it's ropey defending from the Scots, or an absolute masterstroke. You decide.

SCORE UPDATEpublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
Meanwhile, in Portugal...
It's now 3-1 to the hosts against Iceland. If it stays the same, second-top seed Iceland will be out, with Portugal moving on to 19 points and a goal difference of 11.
Prior to kick off tonight, the Republic were currently on 17 points and a 22 goal difference, while the Scots sat at 16 points and nine goals.
Remember, the top two seeds go through to the World Cup directly, with the third-best play-off winner heading for another play-off. A Portugal win tonight would leave the door potentially open for Hampden's winners...
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:24 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
Scotland 0-0 Republic of Ireland
Another shout for a penalty for the Scots.
Martha Thomas races on to a long through ball and looks to be clattered by a combination of goalkeeper and defender. Even with the safety net of VAR, nothing is doing.

Republic of Ireland striker on RTENiamh tried to put her body on the line but her hand was in an unnatural position. It was a brilliant save by Courtney Brosnan, just brilliant. Hopefully that will get us into the game and let us settle.
'Perfect height' for keeperpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 11 October 2022

BBC Scotland at Hampden ParkDelightful link-up between Fiona Brown and Caroline Weir to conjure up the opportunity for the penalty.
It's a strong save from Courtney Brosnan but it's the perfect height for a keeper to parry it away.
MISSED PENALTY - Caroline Weirpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
Scotland 0-0 Republic of Ireland
What a moment this could be!
Scotland get a penalty awarded after a goal-bound shot gets handballed on to the bar. Real Madrid's Caroline Weir steps up and crashes a shot to her right, but Courtney Brosnan throws herself to her left to parry the ball behind.
It's a solid save, but you expect someone of Weir's class to hit a better effort than that. What a let off for Ireland.

Back at Hampden, and the visitors have had the best of the early couple of minutes. The Scots playing themselves into trouble at the back here...
GOAL UPDATEpublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
It's a goal that will peak the interest at Hampden. Portugal have taken an extra-time lead over Iceland to make it 2-1.
If that stays the final result, the winner at Hampden - if in normal or extra time - will be going to New Zealand and Australia.
KICK-OFFpublished at 20:03 British Summer Time 11 October 2022

Scotland v Republic of Ireland (20:00)
Scotland manager Pedro Martinez Losa tells BBC Alba: "I'm very excited and very motivated.
"Every player is ready. We have a squad of 25 players who are all fit. They are showing they want to play for the team. Tonight, we decide to go for Fiona, who can bring experience and cosistency to the team.
"We have a big opportunity tonight. (Qualifying) would change lives for everyone. It's a big step we can take for the game, together.
"We need a noisy crowd. We need people who feel connected to the team."

Give us a thumbs up if you think Scotland will do it, or thumbs down for the visitors...
Full-time in other semis...published at 19:58 British Summer Time 11 October 2022
As the anthems start at Hampden, the full-time whistles sound in the other two semi-finals.
After two 1-1 draws, Switzerland v Wales, and Portugal v Iceland, are heading to extra time.
Remember, the winners at Hampden will be hoping for either Switzerland OR Wales to slip up, but not by a massive goal margin.
