    End of 2nd Half
    90'
    FULL-TIME
    That's the end of the game and Scotland are beaten 3-0 in their third World Cup qualifier. It's a really disappointing result for Gordon Strachan's side and they face an uphill task to qualify now.
    87'
    Final change of the night for Slovakia as Filip Kiss is brought on to replace the captain Hamsik. Cardiff fans might remember Kiss, who spent four years on the books of their clubs, although he made just two appearances in the league in that time following on from a successful loan spell the season before.

    Anya and Griffiths have certainly added a bit more purpose to Scotland's play. Will certainly raise questions for Strachan as to why they didn't start.
    81'
    There's another change for Slovakia as Robert Mak comes off to a very warm applause, what a night he has had. His replacement is Dusan Svento.

    Another attempt from Bannan, this time down the right with his right, and he forces a decent save from Kozacik.
    78'
    And the substitute McGinn plays a nice through-ball to Griffiths but he drags his shot wide.
    76'
    Steven Fletcher's night is over. He's been taken off with around 15 minutes to go, with John McGinn coming on.

    Do you remember when I said that despite losing Slovakia were doing well to keep possession? Well that isn't happening any more. The Scots can't get near the ball at the moment.
    69'
    And with that Nemec takes his leave of this game. He's replaced by Marek Bakos.

    GOAL! SLOVAKIA 3-0 (NEMEC)
    Oh dear. It's just so, so easy for Slovakia. A corner is sent in by Mak and Nemec just stands and nods it into the net. Far too simple.

    Decent effort from the edge of the area by Bannan but it's straight at Kozacik. Just in case you're wondering Russell Martin is now the captain.
    64'
    Right it's time for some substitutions. Matt Ritchie and Darren Fletcher are off. Ikechi Anya and Leigh Griffiths are on.

    Marshall has been a busy bee today. This time a cross come shot is fired in from the right by Mak and he not only makes the save but gets it away from danger.
    56'
    GOAL! 2-0 SLOVAKIA (MAK)
    That's a lovely goal. Hamsik slips the ball through to Holubek and he squares the ball to Mak. He sells Martin a dummy and calmly slots past Marshall, great finish.

    Erik Sabo thinks he's gone after lunging in on Tierney. Luckily for him the referee decides it's only a corner, which is comfortably claimed by Kozacik.
    52'
    That's a great chance for Slovakia as Duris floats a ball to the back post but luckily Fletcher has got there in time to make the clearance.
    50'
    These long throws from Paterson are causing some bother, Durica has to be alert to put the ball behind for a corner. From which Skrtel clears the ball with a terrific header.
    48'
    A long throw from Paterson leaves Scotland convinced they should have a penalty. However the referee sees a handball and gives the free-kick to Scotland.
    46'
    Welcome back, we're back underway for the second-half. Can Scotland find the equaliser?
    End of 1st Half
    45'
    And that's half-time. Their team are winning but the Slovakian fans clearly aren't happy, there are some boos as the teams come off.
