Tuesday 27 October 2015 17:30, UK
Rachel Corsie scored twice in two minutes as Scotland Women recorded a 4-1 Euro 2017 qualifier win in Macedonia, sending them top of Group 1.
Scotland scored four times in nine first-half minutes before Gentjana Rochi netted what proved to be nothing more than a consolation for Macedonia just before the interval.
Caroline Weir went close to opening the scoring three times before Kim Little gave Scotland the lead midway through the first half after latching on to a Jane Ross pass and firing past Viktorija Doneva.
Little then turned provider, crossing for Seattle Reign team-mate Corsie to head home Scotland's second. Corsie grabbed her second and Scotland's third moments after the restart with a stunning effort from outside of the box.
And just after the half hour mark Scotland were four goals to the good when Doneva made an error and allowed Weir's effort to slip under her body.
Rochi pulled a goal back for the home side in the 44th minute to complete the scoring on the day, as Scotland boosted their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2017 in France with a comfortable win.
