Scott McTominay, who had recently joined Napoli, headed home Kenny McLean’s perfect cross in the seventh minute to give Scotland a surprise lead. After losing the first game, Portugal pressured the other team, and Bruno Fernandes scored to tie it in the second half.

Portugal benefited from Ronaldo’s second-half substitution. Due to his late heroics, Nuno Mendes’ brilliant cross set him up for a score in the 88th minute. The legendary striker expertly chipped in the goal to give Portugal its second consecutive Group A1 win.

Roberto Martinez’s tactics worked, especially because Portugal is improving in the Nations League. Scotland’s dismal streak against Portugal continues, and their 2024 season becomes worse with one win in nine games.

Ronaldo proved his legend status. Football history is written with every goal he scores.
