Scotland secured their first point in the UEFA Nations League with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Portugal at Hampden Park. The match was a tense affair, with much of the focus on Portugal’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who was met with a mixed reception from the Scottish crowd.

Despite dominating possession, Portugal struggled to break down Scotland’s resolute defense. Ronaldo and his teammates missed several golden opportunities to score, while the Scottish side defended valiantly.

Scotland’s goalkeeper Craig Gordon made several key saves throughout the match, denying Portugal’s attackers on multiple occasions. The home side’s defensive efforts were crucial in securing the draw and boosting their confidence ahead of their upcoming matches against Croatia and Poland.

The result is a positive step for Scotland, who had previously lost their first three matches in the Nations League. The draw against Portugal demonstrates their ability to compete against top-tier opposition and gives them hope for a successful campaign.
