From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Scotland will be looking to bounce back against San Marino after their humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan.

After that shock upset, San Marino will certainly fancy their chances against Alex McLeish's side - despite being the lowest-ranked country in world football and having conceded 37 goals in their last ten matches.

Scotland must now secure a win to keep their hopes of automatically qualifying for Euro 2020 alive.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

10 minutes

Slovakia are having plenty of possession, but they're exposed on the counter attack. Wales' pace is causing the visitors problems and Bale is very nearly set free down the left. Vavro stops him, but he's penalised for handball. Brooks' free kick, though is disappointing and cleared easily.

14 minutes

It's been an energetic start from the hosts, particularly in the final third. Wales are repeatedly winning the ball high up and finding spaces behind Slovakia's midfield.

Mak is the first player to go into the book for a late challenge on Roberts.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

16 minutes

Wilson curls a wicked delivery into the box, which Vavro does well to head behind. A second Wales goal doesn't seem too far away at the moment.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

19 minutes

Bale picks is played in behind on the left and surges past his marker. He drills a low cross into the box but it evades everyone in a red shirt.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

21 minutes

Close! Davies overlaps on the left and picks out Brooks waiting in the middle. The Bournemouth man swings his left foot at the ball but guides it just wide of the near post. This has been an impressive opening 20 minutes from Wales.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

26 minutes

Slovakia look nervous at the back as Brooks, James and Bale continue to cause problems. The visitors make a rare forage forward at the other end, but there's been very little end product to their play in the final third.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

27 minutes

Better from the visitors. Kucka breaks into the box from the right and drills a shot towards goal. It's blocked but Slovakia work a chance from the resulting corner. Hamsik, who has been kept relatively quiet so far, slips before he can capitalise on the opportunity.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

30 minutes

Slovakia are growing into the game, penning Wales into their own half for the first time. The hosts are defending robustly, though.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

31 minutes

Just as Slovakia looked to be establishing some control, Wales break again. Bale releases James, who's taken out by Vavro. He goes into the book.
