Switzerland beats Scotland 3-0 after Hendry's red card
Scotland played almost 80 minutes with 10 men after Jack Hendry's early red card and lost 3-0 to Switzerland in Nations League.
Jack Hendry was sent off early in the match for fouling Dan Ndoye, forcing Scotland to play most of the game with 10 men. Ricardo Rodríguez opened the scoring with a free-kick from 19 yards.
Nico Elvedi added the second goal, then Switzerland completed a 3-0 rout in the closing stages. Scotland has now scored only once in its past five games under new manager Sébastien Pocognoli.
Switzerland, unbeaten in Group B1 of the Nations League, looked physically and technically superior throughout. The home crowd at Hampden Park grew quieter as the gulf in quality widened.
For Scotland, the defeat raises fresh doubts about whether Pocognoli can reverse the team's recent form.
