Ten grueling minutes for the Scots who sorely lacked realism in front of goal.
Tomas Vaclic, at 32, may have lost his starting spot in Seville, but he remains a favorite fortress in the national team.
In turn, captains Andy Robertson (32) and Lyndon Dykes (66) and even the veering of his defender Thomas Callas (49) saw their path toward the net interrupted by Vaclic.
