A solid first-half performance by Scotland was not enough to prevent them losing to group leaders Spain in their top of the table European Under-21 Championship qualifying match.

Josh Mulligan's bursting midfield run ended with a well-executed pass through the Spanish defence into the path of Dire Mebude, who slid the ball past goalkeeper Alejandro Iturbe.
