Hampden debut to forget but Pocognoli looks at bigger picture
Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli hopes "we will remember this night differently later on" as his Hampden bow ends with a 3-0 defeat by Switzerland.
Scotland's head coach Sebastien Pocognoli hopes to look back on his Hampden debut differently following a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Switzerland at the national stadium. Pocognoli's side, who had previously drawn goalless in Ljubljana, suffered a significant blow as Jack Hendry received an 11th-minute red card, leaving Scotland with ten men.
Despite their valiant effort, Ricardo Rodriguez's well-struck free-kick put Switzerland ahead, and the home team never truly recovered, with Leeds United's Nico Elvedi and Burnley's Zeki Amdouni scoring the remaining goals. The Scots, currently third in their Nations League group, face North Macedonia next Saturday and Slovenia on Tuesday, aiming to bounce back from this setback.
