Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 901st career goal, playing a crucial role in Portugal’s comeback win against Scotland in their Nations League match. Ronaldo continued to showcase his elite status by netting in back-to-back games, helping Portugal secure a victory and climb to the top of their Nations League group standings.

Scotland started strong, taking an early lead when Scott McTominay’s header redirected Kenny McLean’s precise cross into the net, highlighting his excellent form for Scotland.

Portugal responded with intensity, with Rafael Leao creating problems on the wings. Although Leao’s shot went into the side-netting, he kept pressuring Scotland, forcing Angus Gunn into a key save and setting up Diogo Jota, whose attempt went over the bar.

In the second half, Portugal coach Martínez brought on Cristiano Ronaldo, and Portugal regained their dominance. Leao continued to be a threat on the left flank and provided a pass to Bruno Fernandes, who scored a precise shot into the bottom corner to equalize.

Portugal intensified their efforts, with Diogo Dalot’s introduction leading to a flurry of chances. Ronaldo hit the woodwork twice in quick succession but eventually made his mark in the 88th minute, scoring from Nuno Mendes’s cross to secure his 901st career goal. Portugal’s victory moved them to the top of their UEFA Nations League group standings.
