Robert Mancini’s men played a 0-0 draw with Scotland🏴, with this scoreline ending their consecutive 10-match victory run.
It was a very frustrating game for Portugal’s🇵🇹 captain, Cristiano Ronaldo. He made his 200th appearance for Portugal but could not celebrate his achievement by scoring a goal.
The Scots had the best chance in the first 45 when Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay sent a close owner header too close to Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Portugal soon after dominated most of the proceedings but lacked clear-cut chances to put the game to bed, with Francisco Conceciao and Cristiano Ronaldo not able to convert half chances.
Manchester United’s midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes had an effort saved by 41-year-old Craig Gordon twice, with the keeper also collecting the rebound, as that was the best chance Le Selecao had to go in front.
Scotland has now ended its four-consecutive match-winners run with one point in Group A1, while Portugal has all but qualified with seven points from four games.
The Scots will play host to Croatia as they hope to not get relegated from the top tier of the Nations League, while Portugal and Poland will meet next month.
