    Aaron Hickey has been outstanding so far.

    He's just won a free kick to earn some breathing space after that crucial tackle in the box.

    Lyndon Dykes is punished as he catches Aymeric Laporte in the face with a stray arm.

    Looks a bit harsh, that.

    The first one is great block by Aaron Hickey, but it's incredible that the rebound from Merino stays out.

    An outstanding sliding block from Aaron Hickey denies Mikel Oyarzabal. The ball breaks to Mikel Merino who thunders a low shot against the base of the post before the ball spins out of play on the other side of the goal.

  5. Breakthrough in Larnacapublished at 20:20 British Summer Time 12 October 2023

    Cyprus 0-1 Norway

    Alexander Sorloth has given Norway the lead over in Cyprus.

    His shot has taken a big deflection off St Mirren defender Alex Gogic. He'll be getting an earful on his return to Paisley...

    Not great news for Scotland, but hardly unexpected.

    Scotland fans are keeping up the boos for Rodri - and he's seeing plenty of the ball in central midfield.

    Alvaro Morata ripples the side-netting from a tight angle but a flag for offside quickly follows.

    How on earth was that not a free kick to Scotland? It looks to have bemused the Scotland boss scratching his head too. Well, I'm assuming that was the gist of the conversation he was having with the fourth official.

    You've got to be joking? That's outrageous.

    I've got no idea how that isn't a free-kick. What a position that would've been in.

    That's ridiculous. John McGinn is flattened by a late challenge from Dani Carvajal near the edge of the Spain penalty box and the referee waves play on.

    Scotland fans getting roundly heckled by the home crowd for refusing to carry on a Mexican Wave.

    Quite right. It’s up there with half and half scarves in my red card list.

    Scotland commit good numbers forward for the free-kick but they're quickly running back to resume their defensive work.

    Lyndon Dykes buys a foul just inside the Spain half. A chance for a breather and to launch one long into the home penalty box.

    Steven Thompson

    When we have the ball, we're giving it away time after time.

    So far, we're getting away with it. That won't continue that way.

    Not sure I’ve got enough caramel wafers with me to calm myself through another 70 minutes of this.

    Accurate passes as of the 21st minute...

    • Spain: 163
    • Scotland: 27

    It will be a long night at this rate.

    Scotland are pinned right back, they just can't get out of their own half.

    Spain have had three corners in a row where they've managed to get the flick on.

    But they've not managed to get it to Alvaro Morata at the back post.

    Another close shave from the set-piece, but Lyndon Dykes does just enough to make sure Robin Le Normand doesn't get a clean header.

    Another corner to Spain as Andy Robertson heads away at the back post. The skipper was stuck out of position wide on the right for a long time during that last attacking phase, which was a bit nerve-wracking.
