With the help of Cristiano Ronaldo's last minute goal, Portugal defeated Scotland 2-1 in the National League Group A1 match. Ronaldo gave the team a spectacular victory in the match played on Sunday. This goal was Ronaldo's 901st goal.
The 39-year-old forward, who recently joined Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr, returned to play for Portugal at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. After Ronaldo scored the decisive goal in the 88th minute of the match, the fans in the stadium erupted in joy and the entire stadium echoed with chants of Ronaldo-Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's former United teammate Scott McTominay put Scotland ahead in the first half. Scotland lost 3-2 to Poland at Hampden Park on Thursday. Scotland have struggled in recent times. They have won just one match in the last 14. Scotland's only win in the last 14 came in a friendly against Gibraltar last June.
