Switzerland's Rodríguez and Elvedi punish Scotland after Hendry's early red card
Scotland's Nations League campaign suffered a setback as Jack Hendry was shown an early red card, forcing his side to play over an hour with ten men. Switzerland capitalised on the numerical advantage with goals from Ricardo Rodríguez and Nico Elvedi. The result hands Switzerland a significant win in the group while leaving Scotland with a difficult path ahead in the competition.
Read the full story at theguardian.comEarly red cards are the great disruptors of international football, and Hendry's dismissal reshaped this Nations League fixture entirely. Switzerland, a side built on organisation and set-piece threat, exploited the extra space and numerical superiority through Rodríguez's quality from the spot and Elvedi's presence at the back post. For Scotland, the match raises uncomfortable questions about discipline and squad depth at a time when Steve Clarke's group is being measured against the strongest sides in their section.
