Scotland suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat at home against Switzerland in their UEFA Nations League B match. The home side’s head coach, Sebastián Pocognoli, endured a disappointing debut at Hampden Park, with the game’s defining moment arriving within the opening minutes.
Defender Jack Hendry was shown a straight red card for a last-ditch foul on Dan Ndoye. Ricardo Rodriguez then expertly converted the resulting free kick. In the second half, Switzerland put the result beyond doubt: Nico Elvedi finished off a cross from Remo Freuler, and Zeki Amdouni sealed the emphatic victory. Scotland remain without a win in the tournament.
