Ronaldo Strikes Late As Portugal Beat Scotland In Nations League

Cristiano Ronaldo’s late winner in the Nations League dashed Scotland’s hopes in Portugal, extending Steve Clarke’s side’s dismal run of form.

Scotland stunned the hosts with a seventh-minute header from Scott McTominay and defended valiantly against Portugal’s 16 first-half shots.

EDITOR’S PICKS

However, a mistake by Angus Gunn allowed Bruno Fernandes’ long-range effort to sneak into the net, leveling the score after the break.

Ronaldo, brought on at half-time, hit the post twice before finally scoring his 901st career goal by converting a precise Nuno Mendes cross.

The loss, following a defeat to Poland on Thursday, leaves Scotland winless in their last eight competitive matches, marking the worst streak in the team’s history. They’ve secured just one victory in their last 14 games.

Despite the results, Clarke can find some positives in the team’s performances during this window, though Scotland remains at the bottom of their group after Croatia’s 1-0 win over Poland.
