Scotland suffer damaging Nations League defeat to Slovenia

Scotland lost 2-1 at home to Slovenia in a Nations League match, leaving them third in Group B1.

  • Scotland lost 2-1 to Slovenia in their Nations League match.
  • The defeat leaves Scotland third in Group B1 with four points from four matches.
  • Slovenia's goals came from Aljosa Matko and Danijel Sturm in the second half.

Scotland's Nations League campaign took a damaging turn with a 2-1 home defeat to Slovenia, marking Sebastien Pocognoli's first camp as head coach with a loss. Despite Ryan Christie's close-range opener giving the Scots a half-time lead, Slovenia fought back in the second half.

Goals from Aljosa Matko and Danijel Sturm secured Slovenia their first win in seven meetings against Scotland. This result leaves Scotland in third place in the four-team Group B1, having accumulated just four points from their four matches played so far.

The defeat means Pocognoli, the recently appointed Belgian head coach, faces a crucial November double-header against North Macedonia and Switzerland to prove his mettle, with boos heard at full-time.
