Scotland vs Portugal LIVE - Updates as Ronaldo starts in Nations ...
SCOTLAND 0-0 PORTUGAL - Report
Scotland are finally off the mark in UEFA Nations League Group A after holding a frustrated Portugal to a 0-0 draw at Hampden Park.
The visitors, who had won their three previous games in the competition, dominated possession throughout, but that did not stop their opponents creating some decent shooting opportunities, as Scott McTominay and Ryan Christie had strikes saved.
Roberto Martinez’s side, on the other hand, struggled to forge too many openings against a resilient defence, with Cristiano Ronaldo being uncharacteristically off target and Diogo Jota firing too close to Craig Gordon.
Ronaldo and Francisco Conceicao then wasted glorious chances after the break, both lifting over the bar when left unmarked in decent positions.
Their clear-cut chances were few and far between, though, with Bruno Fernandes having the last - although he was denied by Gordon - as Scotland defended resiliently, with Portugal were largely kept at an arm’s length.
