    That's such a bitter pill for Scotland to swallow.

    As long as we can keep the game tight, anything can happen.

    The ball in is exceptional. And the finish from Morata, a diving header. It's a fantastic finish from a top, top player.

    Heartbreaking. It's the one time we've switched off.

    My smart watch is showing my heart-rate at 105 beats per minute. How long until full-time?

    About, 22 minutes plus change, Jane.

    It appears that decision to disallow one of the greatest goals of all time was indeed for a foul.

    Absolutely scandalous!

    Erling Haaland on target and that alternative route to the Euros for Scotland appears to be closed.

    Aw naw. You're kidding me. You are kidding me.

    From such a high to a low in seconds.

    Sickener!

    Jack Hendry has barely touched Unai Simon there. If that's given as a foul rather than offside and interference, Scotland have been very, very hard done by.

    What on earth?

    Is Jack Hendry offside, or interfering with the goalkeeper?

    Dani Carvajal has a brain fade defending near his own byeline and Scotland win a free-kick as he tugs back Ryan Christie.

    Get the big men up...

  14. 'Inches away'published at 21:05 British Summer Time 12 October 2023

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    It's phenomenal control from Morata, great close control and skill, but he's inches away from scoring.

  15. CLOSE!published at 21:04 British Summer Time 12 October 2023

    Spain 0-0 Scotland

    A lovely touch from Alvaro Morata takes him away from Ryan Porteous then he scoops an angled shot just over the top.

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    The ball to Christie is at quite a pace.

    I feel like John McGinn could've got his head down and got a shot away there.

    Lyndon Dykes pokes a pass through for John McGinn near the edge of the Spain penalty area.

    'Shoot', scream the Tartan Army but he fires a clumsy pass in the direction of Ryan Christie, who can't get the ball under control.

    A sliding Robin Le Normand is not far from making contact as the free-kick swings in from the left. The defender, and a few others in red, look offside anyway.

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    He's touched the ball twice since he's come on and both times have been sensational.

    He looks incredibly sharp.
