In the fourth match of the UEFA Nations League 2024-2025, Portugal dominated Hampden Park (Scotland) when they held the ball for 70% of the match and fired 14 shots. However, the accuracy in finishing is something that coach Roberto Martinez and his team have not achieved.

The tight defense of the home team prevented Ronaldo and his teammates from approaching the goal of goalkeeper Craig Gordon on the Scottish side. The only bright spot in the first half was CR7’s trademark “bicycle kick” in the 31st minute, but the ball missed the goal by a hair.

Ronaldo missed a great chance to score in the 48th minute after Diogo Jota’s cross from the left put him unmarked, but striker Al Nassr’s header went over the bar in regret.

Portugal almost paid the price in Scotland’s attack in the 77th minute, Anthony Ralston dribbled the ball at speed down the right flank and then crossed the goal, Scott McTominay failed to make the right cut and let the opportunity slip away.

With a 0-0 draw, coach Martinez’s team dropped their first points in the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League group stage. However, Portugal still topped Group 1 League A with 10 points and had one foot in the quarter-finals.
