THE FANS
Ukraine's fans in Hampden are, understandably, bouncing with delight. When Yaremchuk scored, he ran straight to them in joyous celebration. They're a good team, that much was known beforehand, but given the context of the last few months this is a huge performance.
62'
HICKEY KICKS
Hickey makes his first real progess of the night, nutmegging Zinchenko and crossing low into the box where Bushchan gathers.

UKRAINE KEEP PUSHING
They are slicing through Scotland now. Two attacks in quick succession break down, one for offside and another when they overplay it with easier passes on. McGinn breaks the rhythm with a zealous challenge in a fifty-fifty, but is carded for his troubles.

CLOSE!
This is a bit too relaxed from Ukraine at the back, as Bushchan's kick is charged down by McGregor and flies just wide!
54'
CORNER TO UKRAINE
They've really upped it since half-time. Yaremchuk tries to run Hanley to the goalline, and wins a corner.
52'
CHANCE!
For a second it looks like it will be three, as Yarmolenko dances past a challenge in the D and lets go a rasper with his right. Not for the first time tonight, Gordon saves well.

GOAL! SCOTLAND 0 UKRAINE 2 (YAREMCHUK 49)
Scotland are in deep trouble now. Ukraine put together another nice move on the right, with Yarmolenko eventually working the ball to Karavaev. He crosses to the back post, where Yaremchuk towers over Hickey and guides a header back across goal and into the bottom corner. It's another superbly worked goal!

PEEP!
That'll do us for half the first; Ukraine are on top here, and the home side haven't created much so far.
45'
A SHOT AND A YELLOW
Malinovskyi breaks forward for Ukraine, but drags his shot horribly wide from 30 yards out with better options left and right. Moments later, Dykes goes into the book for a stray elbow on Stepanenko.

GREAT TACKLE!
McGregor has a pop from the edge of the area, which is blocked and almost breaks for McGinn on the left of the area. Matvienko wins the ball with a superb sliding tackle, and the danger is averted.
40'
UKRAINE BREAK AGAIN
Zinchenko is finding a lot of space in midfield, and receives the ball in the centre circle. He tries to slide in Yaremchuk, but Cooper cuts it out.
38'
SCOTLAND RESPOND
After some nice play around the edge of the area Gilmour finds Hickey, who can only loft his cross into the hands of Bushchan.
35'
GREAT GOAL
The timing of Yarmolenko's run, his first touch and his finish were all of the highest calibre there. Steve Clarke will not be happy at how easily Scotland were opened up with one simple pass there.

GOAL! SCOTLAND 0 UKRAINE 1 (YARMOLENKO 33)
They've looked the most likely, and they're ahead! A long ball from Malinovskyi travels 60 yards, right over the heads of Scotland's high back three, and Yarmolenko is clean through. He controls it with his left on the edge of the area, and then gently lifts the ball over Gordon to put Ukraine ahead!

UKRAINE BREAK BACK
Some more slick passing from the visitors releases Zinchenko down the left, and his cross is put behind by McTominay for a corner. They're really targeting that space behind Hickey.
28'
SCOTLAND BREAK
It's a promising chance, three-on-three, but again Adams can't find the right ball and his pass to Robertson is cut out.
27'
HIGH AND WIDE
Yarmolenko gets some room, 30 yards out. After a few step-overs he has a yahoo with his right, but it's nowhere close to goal.
24'
BETTER FROM SCOTLAND
McGregor overlaps Adams down the left, and finds McGinnon the edge of the area. It's a difficult, bouncing ball, and McGinn booms his shot well over.
23'
GREAT PLAY!
Robertson gets the ball on the left corner of the area. He barrels through two challenges and shoots, only for Tsygankov to block the shot out for a corner.
21'
ANOTHER HALF-CHANCE
Ukraine work a shooting chance, I think for Yaremchuk again, but the square ball is behind him and he can only guide the ball well wide from 15 yards out.
