Scotland bowed out of the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship at the second qualifying round on Thursday, after a 3-2 defeat to Group 5 winners Spain.

Shelley Kerr's side fought back from 2-0 down, but Spain maintained their 100% record to advance to the finals in Turkey.

A Marina Garcia goal put Spain one goal up at the break, and Alexia Putellas doubled the advantage just a few minutes after the restart.

Captain Eilish McSorley pulled one back for Scotland, only for Paloma Lazaro to re-establish Spain's two goal cushion.

Lana Clelland added a second for Scotland in injury time.
