00:00Cristiano Ronaldo's late Nations League winner broke Scotland hearts in Portugal and
00:04ensured Steve Clarke's side's dreadful run of form continued.
00:08The visitors took a shock seventh-minute lead thanks to a Scott McTominay header and performed
00:12admirably in repelling Portugal's 16 shots before the break.
00:17Another individual error robbed them of the lead though, when Angus Gunn allowed Bruno
00:20Fernandes' long-range strike to creep into the net after the break.
00:25Ronaldo was introduced at half-time and twice hit a post before finally breaking the barricades,
00:29forcing in a delicious Nuno Mendes cross for his 901st career goal.
00:34The defeat after losing to Poland on Thursday means Scotland are now without a win in their
00:38last eight competitive games, the worst run in their history, and have won just one of
00:42the last 14 games.
00:44However, Clarke can take some encouragement from the nature of the performances in the
00:48two games in this window, even if they are bottom of their section after Croatia beat
00:52Poland 1-0.
