UEFA Nations League: Ronaldo's Late Winner Helps Portugal Down Scotland; Holders Spain Also Win

By IANS News September 09, 2024 • 10:20 AM View: 260
UEFA Nations League: Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench to score a second successive Nations League winner as Portugal fought back to defeat Scotland.

Following Thursday's late 3-2 loss to Poland, Steve Clarke's side began well and went ahead with their only chance of the first half as Scott McTominay headed in his tenth goal in his last 17 internationals from Kenny McLean's cross.

Having spurned several chances in response, Portugal finally levelled after the restart when Bruno Fernandes struck on his 30th birthday and in his 600th career game. Ronaldo then pounced two minutes from the end for his 901st career goal to keep up the 2018/19 Nations League champions' 100% record in the current edition.
