The Tartan Army scored its first point in the current draw of the League of Nations.
As part of the fourth round of the group stage of the National League, the Scottish team hosted Portugal and secured the first points. Roberto Martinez's team traditionally came for three points, and Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in the attack of the guests.
The rulers from the first Khvylins demonstrated that they were ready to fight and would also be beaten. Already on the fifth floor, Robertson hit McTominay’s head with a smart pass from the flank, but Scott’s shot pulled Costa. The Portuguese were able to recover a little in a year if Ronaldo grabbed the ball from someone else's free kick and shot from the left into the far corner - Gordon was on the spot.
This year, Roberto Martinez's team gained territorial advantage and could open the hole if Mendes quickly shot the free kick into the far corner, and Gordon turned the ball onto the corner with his fist. A little later, Ronaldo shot through himself from between the penalty kicks, but was rejected by luck.
The majority of the teams finished 0:0, and the other half began with a careless moment for the guests - Ronaldo lost one on the penalty spot, heading in after a cross from the flank, but inaccurately. Even after a decade, Conceicao beat Ronaldo and broke through the crossbars.
The Scots tried to carry out sharp counter-attacks, but the ball rarely reached the striking position. You can guess the episode if McTominay misses the ball, being in the driving position in someone else's penalty kick. And a little later, Ralston rushed in from the right flank and made a pass into the central zone to Scott, but it turned out to be too strong.
With the arrival of Rafael Leau, the Portuguese have become richer.
At one point, Leau, having eliminated his opponent on the flank, attacked Fernandes, hitting one shot - Gordon, turning his team. Already at the end of the hour, the Milan winger, having shot from several meters away, makes a goal, but the defender in the fall blocks the opponent’s shot.
Scotland - Portugal 0:0 Scotland: Gordon - Ralston (Devlin 88), Souttar, Henley, Robertson - Gilmour, McLean - Christie (Gold 67), McTominay, Doak (Morgan 67) - Adams (Dykes 83) Portugal.
