Switzerland beats Scotland 3-0 after early red card

Switzerland defeated Scotland 3-0 in their Nations League match at Hampden on September 29, with Jack Hendry’s early red card leaving the hosts to play most of the game with 10 men. Ricardo Rodriguez, Nico Elvedi and Zeki Amdouni scored for Switzerland, which controlled the match after taking the lead. Hendry was sent off after fouling Dan Ndoye as the Swiss attacker broke through on goal. The foul was initially called a penalty, but the decision was changed after review to a free kick because it occurred outside the penalty area. Rodriguez converted the resulting set piece to put Switzerland ahead. Reports differ on whether the dismissal came after eight minutes or around the 10th minute; the precise time is not established in the available match accounts. Scotland coach Sebastien Pocognoli responded to the dismissal by bringing on defender Stephen Welsh for Kieron Bowie after 14 minutes, reshaping the side to restore its defensive balance. Scotland still produced some attacking moments, including an effort from Andrew Robertson that went over the crossbar, but Switzerland maintained the upper hand. Switzerland doubled its lead in the 55th minute.
