Scotland lost 3-0 to Switzerland at Hampden in a match marked by an early red card for Jack Hendry. Hendry was sent off in the 11th minute for preventing Dan Ndoye from scoring, leaving Scotland with one player less for almost the entire match.
Switzerland scored their first goal from a free kick, with Ricardo Rodriguez the scorer. The initial penalty was overturned, with the decision changed to a free kick on the edge of the penalty area after a VAR review. The match referee was Nenad Minakovic. Nico Elvedi scored Switzerland's second goal, while Zeki Amdouni scored the third.
Scotland's goalkeeper Angus Gunn, aged 30 and playing for San Jose Earthquakes, saved several shots from Ndoye both before and after the half-time break. Gunn stated that he would review the goals conceded, noting that he is always disappointed when he lets in a goal.
Scotland's head coach, Sebastien Pocognoli, led the team in this defeat. Andy Halliday, a commentator for Sportsound, and former Scotland striker James McFadden covered the match. Gunn had started all three matches at the World Cup, while Liam Kelly and Craig Gordon were the reserve goalkeepers at that tournament. Craig Gordon was 43 years old when he was included in the squad for the World Cup, with Scott Bain from Falkirk replacing the retired Gordon in the squad for the Nations League.
Scotland next play North Macedonia on Saturday, with a match against Slovenia on Tuesday.
