Scotland were comfortably defeated 3-0 by Switzerland in their second Nations League match. The fixture marked a difficult start to the home campaign under Sebastian Pocognoli.

The match was heavily influenced by Jack Hendry's 11th-minute red card. The defender was caught for pace by Dan Ndoye and brought the striker down, leaving his team to battle with ten men for the remainder of the game.

Oli McBurnie stood out as the most effective performer for the Scots. Working as a lone striker after an early tactical substitution to cover for Hendry's absence, he battled impressively and kept the Swiss defense under pressure, earning a rating of 7.

In contrast, goalkeeper Angus Gunn (4) and the dismissed Hendry (2) received low marks. Key players such as Andy Robertson and John McGinn struggled to influence the match against a dominant Swiss midfield, with both receiving ratings of 5 and 6 respectively.
