World champion Eve Muirhead came through her toughest examination yet as her rink remained unbeaten at the European Curling Championships in Stavanger.
The Scottish skip was certainly tested in a tense encounter with Germany's Andrea Schöpp, securing a 7-6 victory in the final end.
"It was good to get a game going right down to the last end," said Muirhead, whose rink faces Denmark and the Czech Republic on Monday.
"It was a good game and a good battle. We managed to get our twos but we gave up a cheap steal in the eighth end which brought them back into it.
"However, we had a couple of good ends to come out on top."
But Scottish men's skip David Murdoch endured a mixed day as his rink followed a win over a Finland with a stuttering 8-6 defeat to Sven Michel's Switzerland.
Both teams came into the match with same won two, lost one record but the eighth end - when Scotland gave up a three - proved decisive.
Murdoch will look to rebound on Monday in his rinks only match against Latvia, who have the same 2-2 record.
