    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    There was some very attractive football from Scotland in the opening ten minutes, very easy on the eye. But that's been about it.

    But, this is what we were expecting. This is one of, if not the, best team in the world on their own patch and they've taken full control of the game.

    They're a class above us, a lot will have been learned, though.

    HT: France 3-1 Scotland

    Billy Gilmour banged Scotland in front after just 11 minutes, profiting from a dreadful lapse from Eduardo Camavinga.

    The visitors didn't enjoy that lead for long, allowing Benjamin Pavard a free run and header at a corner.

    The roaming centre-half added a second header and was very close to making it a hat-trick.

    Ousmane Dembele missed a sitter and Kylian Mbappe knocked in a penalty after Liam Cooper's grapple with Olivier Giroud.

  5. HALF-TIME France 3-1 Scotlandpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    After a dream start, Scotland have been on the wrong end of a pummelling.

    The officials agree with Thommo and on we go.

    Steven Thompson

    I don't think there is enough for him to go down so theatrically.

    Not a penalty for me.

  8. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Liam Kelly spills a shot from Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud is quickly on to the loose ball. The big France forward then goes for a tumble and is shouting for a penalty but it doesn't look like there's any real contact with the flailing legs of Kelly.

  9. Postpublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Nathan Patterson breaks forward for Scotland and the full-back has a couple of team-mates to pick out but blazes in a cross that is pushed away by goalie Mike Maignan.

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    This is a world-class team. They were sleeping a wee bit in the opening ten minutes of the game, but they've come to life now.

    The early Scotland goal woke them up.

  11. Postpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    One-way traffic now as a lunging Scott McKenna repels a shot and then Liam Kelly gathers a long-range effort from Aurelien Tchouameni.

  12. 'There's a tug'published at 20:54 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    Liam Kelly gets a fingertip to it, but there's enough pace.

    Ach, it's a penalty, isn't it? There's a tug.

    Liam Kelly gets the slightest touch on it, but he can't keep out the spot-kick.

    Yup, Liam Cooper with a fistful of Olivier Giroud's shirt...

    Lots of pulling and pushing from a France corner...

  16. CLOSE!published at 20:50 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 2-1 Scotland

    Almost the hat-trick for Benjamin Pavard, with the centre-half inches away from connecting with a low cross from Kylian Mbappe.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 2-1 Scotland

    Nathan Patterson is up against it tonight as he tries to keep tabs on Kylian Mbappe. He goes into the book for a hack at the heels of Theo Hernandez though.

  18. CLOSE!published at 20:43 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 2-1 Scotland

    Ousmane Dembele nips in behind the Scotland defence to meet a lofted pass from Aurelien Tchouameni and then somehow lashes his shot wide from all of four yards.

    A massive let-off!

    France 2-1 Scotland

    A nice period of possession for Scotland prompts jeers from the home crowd. That should clear heads after a period under the cosh.

  20. Postpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 2-1 Scotland

    Benjamin Pavard had only scored three times in 51 caps coming into this one... Now he's on a hat-trick.
