IT took a long time to get there, but once Scotland opened Belarus up with a late first half goal, the floodgates opened at Fir Park. The seven-goal Euro 2017 demolition puts the Scots back on top of Group 1.
Scotland started the game so much on the front foot that it took ten minutes before Belarus were able to put a move together in the home side's half. But for all the Scots' possession, there was very little threat to the Belarus goalkeeper, and captain, Ina Batsianouskaya.
That was a trend which continued for most of the first 30 minutes when only a Jo Love volley which went over the bar, and a Caroline Weir header which had a similar outcome threatened to break the deadlock.
The home side finally came close to taking the lead in the 34th minute. Hayley Lauder's free kick was met by Weir at the far post, but her first time shot was deflected against the wrong side of the post by a Belarus defender.
Just as it looked as if the visitors would hold out until half time Little, the scorer of all three goals in Slovenia, set up the opener. Her long ball into the box was met perfectly by striker Jane Ross two minutes from the interval.
If they waited a long time to make the breakthrough in the first half, Scotland wasted no time in the second. Less than two minutes were on the clock when Weir played a one-two with Little before running in on Batsianouskaya to score.
Seven minutes later it was three. Rachel Corsie plays in central defence for Seattle Reign, and is a holding midfielder for Scotland - but she showed a striker's reactions to take Ross's pass and scoop the ball past the Belarus keeper.
A tremendous 25-yard shot by Weir, Scotland's most dangerous player, saw the ball fly just over the bar as the home side searched for the fourth goal which would put them back on top of Group 1. It nearly came for Ross, but her low shot was just wide.
The Vittsjo striker was not to be denied in the 67th minute. Little was again the provider, this time with a corner from the left, and Ross met it at the near post for her second headed goal of the game.
Two minutes later it was five. The Belarus defence made a mess of clearing a long ball from Jenny Beattie, and Evans ran in to beat Batsianouskaya.
The Scots continued to pound the Belarus goal, with several near misses before Love added a stunning double just before the end. The sixth, a 25-yard strike, was the goal of the night.
