In the first of their relegation pool games against Russia, Scotland started again brightly and opened the scoring in the first 10 minutes from a short corner. Beautifully finished by captain Linda Clement.
Scotland remained in control of the game for the rest of the half but yet again failed to convert their chances from both short corners and open play.
Into the second half Scotland continued to pressurise the Russian side and won more short corners, but still failed to convert. Russia eventually broke down the pitch to win a short corner from which they scored the equaliser.
As the game went on Scotland pressed the Russian defence creating more chances and winning yet more short corners - some of which went flying past the post.
With 5 minutes left on the clock Cat Forrest received a yellow card for a dubious tackle as the Russians advanced down the pitch.
So yet again Scotland are playing for survival, this time in the A division elite of Europe. A win against Azerbaijan on Saturday will secure Scotland's place in 2 years time.
