Within the opening 10 minutes, the hosts were two goals up and Scotland were left stunned and startled.

The Scottish defence on both occasions were undone by one defence-splitting pass. First Yuriy Pertsukh struck a left-footed half-volley past Scott Bain after being played through by a simple ball from just inside Kazakhstan’s half.
