Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveA very good couple of minutes for Scotland. It's like Steve Clarke said, you can't sit in your half and defend for the whole game.

Scotland come down the left this time as Andrew Robertson feeds Ryan Christie but the Bournemouth forward scuffs his cross.

Steven Thompson
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundAaron Hickey does ever so well there, fighting off the challenge then the pass to Lyndon Dykes.
It's positive that we've managed to get into their final third in open play.
We should take confidence from that.

Scotland get forward for the first time and it looks like a cross from Lyndon Dykes is going to fall for Scott McTominay as players lunge in. It doesn't quite work out that way and the ref dreams up a foul from somewhere.

Steven Thompson
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundWe were expecting a strong Spain start.
We need a wee bit of luck tonight, we've already had a huge slice of that.
That's another huge let-off.

Bedlam from a Spain corner. Three home players are close to getting a touch before Alvaro Morata heads wide at the back post.

Loud boos from the Tartan Army as soon as Rodri gets a touch.
Scotland can't get near the ball.

Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's a very poor miss. You've got to get it on target. It's bobbling a little bit if you're going to give Torres some sort of excuse.
But the ease with which they got through that Scottish midfield and defence. Nobody got near it.

Former Scotland midfielder on ViaplayThat's a sitter from Ferran Torres.
Spain should be 1-0 up.

Ooft! The Scottish defence is sliced open by a smart Alvaro Morata pass and Feran Torres only has Angus Gunn to beat.
He shoots just wide.

James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC 5 LiveSteve Clarke can do whatever he wants because everyone believes in him.
The players and the fans are fully behind him and what he's doing.
He's built that, he's had to work hard at it and he deserves everything that's coming, because he and his players have brought belief back to Scotland as a nation.

BBC Scotland in SevilleThe Estadio La Cartuja is far from a full house, which is quite surprising considering what's a stake for Spain. There are empty seats in sizable sections around the stadium.
That isn't affecting the noise levels though. It's quite the atmosphere...
