Nations League Round-up: England Win, Scotland Trounced

Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored as England controlled the match after Pavel Sulc’s red card, while Switzerland beat Scotland 3-0 at Hampden.

  • England secured a 2-0 victory over 10-man Czechia on Tuesday in the Nations League, rebounding from their opening loss. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored second-half goals after Pavel Sulc received a red card in the 25th minute.
  • Scotland endured a demoralizing 3-0 home defeat against Switzerland, marking a difficult debut for new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli. Defender Jack Hendry was dismissed in the 11th minute for denying a goal-scoring opportunity.
  • Switzerland dominated after the dismissal, with Ricardo Rodriguez firing home the free-kick before Nico Elvedi and Zeki Amdouni added further goals. Anthony Gordon scored from a precise cross by Trent Alexander-Arnold to break England's deadlock.
  • Elsewhere, Spain defeated Croatia 4-1 at home, extending their record unbeaten streak to 40 games. Lamine Yamal led the World Cup winners, scoring twice and setting up another goal, while Marc Pubill and Nico Williams also found the net.
  • Winless in four matches, Scotland faces upcoming fixtures against North Macedonia on Saturday in Skopje and Slovenia next Tuesday in Glasgow. Manager Pocognoli must deliver immediate results to end the team's goal drought.
