League of Nations: Portugal and Ronaldo are stuck against Scotland

Portugal's good run came to an end in Glasgow. The Lusitanian team, first in its group in the European Nations League, failed to achieve its fourth consecutive victory in the competition on Tuesday, which tied with Scotland (0-0). A performance for the locals who at the same time managed to avoid a historic fifth defeat in a row and can still mathematically avoid the play-offs.

October 15 was the evening of broken ribbons. For Portugal, which has only known victory since the beginning of the group stage. Its star also has Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a goal in each of the three first-leg matches and was unable to score a fourth goal. However, it was not for lack of attempts, as the former Madridista created the majority of his team's chances, including one in the second half that hit the post (82nd minute).

Diego Costa has conceded one goal per game so far, and this time around he kept a clean sheet, even if unlike his Scottish counterpart, he hasn't had to make any big saves either. One shot, sure, but what a shot, to save a close-range shot from Bruno Fernandes at the end of the match (87).

A reflex stop with the success that kept the overall score worthy of his choice, which certainly played very low and very narrow but also showed a lot of generosity to defeat the Portuguese creators. And even indulge in some not-so-bad skirmishes in the rival camp from time to time. A good point in the end for the little thumb of this first group, which delayed Portugal's qualification as well as eliminating it from the race to the quarter-finals.
