<\/a>Scotland 3-1 Curacao<\/p>\n

70 mins: Another break for drinks and fluids. It\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Scotland 3-1 Curacao<\/p>\n

67 mins: That two goal cushion will be more than enough for Scotland to secure the win in this game. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a good confidence builder, especially after the hosts went behind. <\/p>\n

In this second half they\u2019ve been the better side by a clear margin and they\u2019ll hwant to increase their lead.<\/p>\n

Christie and Shankland link up to get the ball into the right side of the area. <\/p>\n

The new Rangers striker lets fly with an effort at goal and forces Room into a low save to his right. <\/p>\n

<\/a>HT Scotland 1-1 Curacao<\/p>\n

Scotland have been the dominant side over the first half though they can play better. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve had 62% possession and have created five chances with two on target. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s only been 10 touches in the Curacao box though and the hosts are lacking a bit of finesse in the final third. <\/p>\n
