  6. 'Good feeling to get three points' - Corsiepublished at 21:39 British Summer Time 9 April

    FT: Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Scotland captain Rachel Corsie tells BBC Alba: "Results have been difficult and tonight I think we just really needed to win.

    "The last few games we've played there have been a lot of good things but everyone looks at the scoreline and so do we.

    "Tonight Slovakia made it difficult, the levels have gone up so much. I think once we got the lead we were comfortable and it's just a good feeling to get three points.

    "There's probably still a bit of work that needs doing but we found a way tonight and that's the most important thing.

    "I'm really proud of every single one of the caps, it's a really good feeling to play for my country."

    Second half, Scotland improved. They moved the ball a lot quicker.

    It was a great goal from a set-piece and the three points is the most important thing.

    Scotland finally end 18 months of disappointment with their first competitive win since October 2022 and while it wasn't the most convincing of victories, it'll do the players the world of good to get a goal, and a victory, under their belts in this qualifying campaign.

    Claire Emslie does so so well to break into the Slovakia half all by herself but there's just no good options for her and Slovakia eventually get numbers back to defend.

  18. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 9 April

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Slovakia have the ball in the back of the net through Dominika Skorvankova but she's a mile offside and the flag, rightly, goes up.

    Up the other Jane Ross has another great chance, she turns away from her defender and all she has to do is pop it in the bottom corner but she hits it right at Maria Korenciova.

    Rachel Corsie sends a close range effort over the bar, luckily for her the flag was up but this is better from Scotland.

  20. CLOSE!published at 21:08 British Summer Time 9 April

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    How's that not gone in?!

    Jamie-Lee Napier's deflected shot falls inches in front of Jane Ross right on the goalline but she's just not quite alert to it and the ball trickles out of play.
