What a dramatic match in Houston. It is a bitter pill for Scotland to swallow, a first defeat to the USA, but the Americans were worthy winners.

Next up for Scotland it is a trip to face Argentina in their final summer Test. The Pumas have found the going tough lately, but they will look to raise their game next weekend.

Plenty for Gregor Townsend to ponder ahead of the match, and we can expect the Scotland coach to name his strongest available line-up.

Keep across the BBC Sport Scotland website for reaction and analysis.

Thanks for your company and contributions today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

The Americans are absolutely revelling in this and they deserve to. This was thoroughly deserved.

Scotland had too many under-performers and made far too many mistakes on the night. The USA were brutally physical, especially in the closing stages when defending their line.

It would have been a wonderful moment for Blair Kinghorn had he landed that conversion but Scotland did not deserve to win.

AJ MacGinty was masterful at 10 for the hosts. What a performance. This was their first victory against a Tier One country. A huge evening for American rugby and a sobering one for Scotland. Once again they have failed to get the job done on the road.

Blair Kinghorn's conversion sails wide and USA register their first ever win over Scotland.

Scotland again go for the rolling line-out maul and again the USA stop it illegally.

Wayne Barnes allows penalty advantage but play is halted for a serious looking injury to a USA player.

Scotland will get one more chance - surely this one is the last - to snatch victory in this game.

The USA looked for all the world like they were playing the clock out expertly, running through the phases.

However, with 45 seconds left on the clock they are pinged at the breakdown and Scotland can once again kick to the corner.

This is the last chance for the Scots.....

The Scots win their own line-out and look to get the maul going but it is stopped, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne loses the ball at the base and the USA are able to clear.

In fact, the kick takes a nick off a Scottish finger so it is a USA line-out.

They will look to gather and run down the clock.

The USA are almost there.

The Scots get the rolling maul charging for the USA line and they halt it the only way they can - illegally.

Nothing comes of the penalty advantage so the Scots kick to the corner and surely another rolling line-out maul is coming......

What will he do if USA hold on to win?

Scotland wing Byron McGuigan has found the going tough and he makes way for Dougie Fife.

It's easy to point to Scotland's shortcomings but it does feel more like a very good USA performance than a Scottish calamity.

The US have been relentless in their intensity and are now displaying huge heart in defence as the Scots look to find a way to pull this out of the fire.

Our Americans friends are sensing a famous upset....

The Scotland replacements have had the desired and they finally inject some temp into their play in this second half.

Blair Kinghorn makes another searing break and Murray McCallum and Dave Denton both have big carries to keep the momentum going.

Mark Bennett is the one to make a dart for the line and he gets over, only to spill the ball as he goes to ground it.

Frustrating not to score but that is much more like it from the Scots.

I'll just bring you up to date with more Scotland substitutions.

OFF - Nick Grigg , Jamie Bhatti, Zander Fagerson, Matt Fagerson, George Horne

ON - Mark Bennett, Allan Dell, Murray McCallum, Dave Denton, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne
