  "account": "Scotland suffered a 3-0 defeat to Switzerland in their second Nations League match, with Jack Hendry's red card proving to be a decisive blow. Angus Gunn was beaten by Ricardo Rodriguez's powerful free-kick, earning him a 4. Jack Hendry was criticized for his pace and clumsiness, resulting in a 2. Luis Binks made a late, rash tackle and was rated a 5. Scott McKenna dealt with most of the Swiss threats from wide, scoring a 6. Nathan Patterson struggled against the pacy Ndoye, scoring a 5. Alex Robertson, at 99th appearance for Scotland, was rated a 6 but had little impact. Lewis Ferguson made a few timely interventions but was largely ineffective, scoring a 5. Billy Gilmour looked most likely to make an impact early but faded as the Swiss took control, scoring a 5. John McGinn struggled to influence the game as he often does, scoring a 5. Kieron Bowie sacrificed early for Stephen Welsh following Hendry's red card, scoring a 5. Oli McBurnie battled impressively as a lone striker after Bowie's departure, scoring a 7. The Swiss coach, Sebastian Pocognoli, remains without a goal in this match as Scotland lost 3-0.",
