Portugal Beat Scotland 2-1 in Nations League

Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo Seal 2-1 Comeback Win for Portugal Against Scotland

Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo scored crucial second-half goals to secure a 2-1 victory for Portugal over Scotland in their UEFA Nations League clash at the Estadio da Luz. Roberto Martinez’s side faced an early setback when Scott McTominay netted for the visitors in just the eighth minute, but Portugal mounted a successful comeback.

Cristiano Ronaldo, introduced at half-time, scored the decisive winner two minutes from time, slotting home a Nuno Mendes cross to complete the turnaround. The 39-year-old’s goal came just days after he netted his 900th career goal in Portugal’s win over Croatia. Ronaldo’s late strike denied Scotland their first point in the group, breaking their hearts after a strong start.
