Switzerland beat ten-man Scotland as Rodríguez and Elvedi score
Switzerland beat Scotland 2–0 at Hampden Park in the Nations League, extending their strong start to six points from two matches. Jack Hendry’s early dismissal left Scotland with 10 players for almost 80 minutes, and Switzerland dominated as Scotland struggled to create clear patterns or threaten in attack.
Ricardo Rodríguez opened the scoring with a free-kick after a VAR review changed a penalty decision into a red card and free-kick for Hendry’s foul on Dan Ndoye. The supplied article text cuts off before explaining Switzerland’s second goal, but its headline identifies Nico Elvedi as the scorer. Scotland have scored only once in five matches, leaving new manager Sébastien Pocognoli under pressure ahead of a significant trip to North Macedonia.
- Switzerland beat Scotland 2–0 in Glasgow.
