70 mins: Another break for drinks and fluids. It’s not needed up in Scotland today but it will be during the World Cup so the players are trying to get into the rhythm of games being split up for water breaks.

67 mins: That two goal cushion will be more than enough for Scotland to secure the win in this game.
It’s been a good confidence builder, especially after the hosts went behind.
In this second half they’ve been the better side by a clear margin and they’ll hwant to increase their lead.

Scotland have been the dominant side over the first half though they can play better.
They’ve had 62% possession and have created five chances with two on target.
There’s only been 10 touches in the Curacao box though and the hosts are lacking a bit of finesse in the final third.
