- 90:00We will have 3 min. of added time.
- 89:50Billy Gilmour (Scotland) unleashes a shot, but it just flies over the bar. The ball is off of the pitch and it's a goal kick for Slovenia.
- 89:46A free kick is awarded from a very dangerous distance. It's situated just a few metres from outside the box. Several players gather around the ball, but it seems like Billy Gilmour (Scotland) is going to have a crack himself.
- 88:52It is time for a substitution. Srdjan Kuzmic (Slovenia) is on for Aljosa Matko.
- 88:41Scotland are awarded the free kick. Jose Sanchez interrupts the game for a tactical foul by Jaka Bijol (Slovenia).

- 86:52Substitution. John McGinn is replaced by Robbie Ure (Scotland).
- 84:51The game has begun to heat up. Mark Zabukovnik (Slovenia) challenges an opponent and receives a deserved yellow card for his ugly tackle.

- 83:19Scotland keep possession of the ball with some short passes, waiting for the moment to hit the opposition swiftly on the break.
- 81:23The resulting set piece, sent into the penalty area by Andrew Robertson (Scotland), was easily dealt with by one of the defenders.
- 81:01Zan Karnicnik (Slovenia) makes a rough challenge and Jose Sanchez blows his whistle for a foul. Scotland win a free kick and will be able to apply some pressure on the opposition goal.
