Scotland vs Switzerland
Switzerland strolls to 3-0 win over Scotland
A clinical Swiss side dismantled Scotland with three well-timed strikes.
Switzerland delivered a commanding performance in the UEFA Nations League, cruising to a 3-0 victory against Scotland. R. Rodríguez set the tone early with a 12th-minute opener, followed by N. Elvedi's second-half strike and Z. Amdouni sealing the win late on. This result was a surprise, defying Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a narrow home win for Scotland.
