Sebastien Pocognoli tasted defeat in his first match at Hampden as his 10-man Scotland side were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Switzerland in Nations League B.

Defender Jack Hendry was dismissed inside the first 10 minutes for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity when he hauled down Nottingham Forest's Dan Ndoye - before former AC Milan full-back Ricardo Rodriguez carefully curled the resulting free-kick into the top-left corner from the edge of the box. This followed a period of confusion around the national stadium in which Serb referee Nenad Minakovic had originally awarded a penalty and shown Hendry a yellow card before his decision was corrected by VAR.

Scotland responded well and fought valiantly despite their numerical disadvantage but were eventually foiled early in the second half when Remo Freuler's low cross picked out Nico Elvedi who helped the ball into the far corner at the near post. Burnley forward Zeki Amdouni then completed the scoring in the 82nd minute by stepping onto Ndoye's cutback and lashing the ball past Scotland stopper Angus Gunn.

The Scots travel to North Macedonia on Saturday then welcome Slovenia to Hampden next Tuesday - still in search of their first victory in Nations League B1.
