Header over! Armstrong plays the freekick into the Kazakhstan penalty area, with the ball floating all the way through to McGinn. But there was a lot of work for him to do there and he heads over.
35'
This has been a dismal first half from Scotland. Have they even created a chance? They have looked dangerous at times, but there has been no substance to their play in the final third.

McBurnie is down! This is a bit of a concern for Scotland. The ball was gone when the Kazakhstan midfielder battered into the Swansea City forward. There was no need for that at all.
32'
It's just not working for Scotland on the left side of the defence. Shinnie really does look lost there. Kazakhstan are being afforded so much time to build up play and get the ball into the box.
31'
What a strike! Kuat takes on the effort from 25 yards out, with the ball dipping and swerving. Bain does well to get hand up and push the strike over his own crossbar. What a shot.
30'
And here is the second Kazakhstan goal...
29'
While the cross just there from Burke was pretty dreadful, he does look the most creative Scotland player. He has the beating of the right wing back. He can't live with Burke's pace.
28'
The ball has to be better! Armstrong played Burke down the left wing, but after beating his man the on loan West Brom winger could only send his cross sailing behind for a goal kick.
27'
Scotland need McGinn to take a grip of things in the middle of the pitch and drive the ball closer to the front three. The Aston Villa man hasn't done enough in the opening half hour.
26'
This was Kazakhstan's first goal...
24'
Scotland, on the whole, haven't played that poorly. They haven't played that well either, it must be said, but the two goals have been sucker punches. McBurnie needs to get involved.
23'
Cleared! McGregor gets the freekick into the penalty area after a foul on Palmer, but the Kazakhstan defence does well to clear the danger under pressure from the men in dark blue.
22'
Apologies for the break in bringing you updates from this game. Some technical issues on our end. Yes, we turned it off and back on again. Genuinely. Seems to have done the trick.

This Scotland team does have goals in them. They showed that over the successful Nations League campaign last year. They need to rediscover that scoring touch here.
15'
Here's a statistic for you - Kazakhstan have only ever won FOUR European Championship qualifiers. And they are 2-0 up against Scotland after just 15 minutes. Wow.
14'
This is a disaster for Scotland because now Kazakhstan have something to protect and so they can sit back, absorb pressure and then hit out on the rapid counter attack. Suits the hosts.

One of the things that is abundantly clear already is how much Scotland are missing the influence of one of either Robertson or Tierney in the left back position. Shinnie looks a bit lost.
11'
Scotland look utterly shocked by what has happened in these opening 10 minutes. Kazakhstan are two goals to the good and this will be a massive mountain for the Scots to climb from here.
