14' Oliveira almost scores an own goal
41' SAVE! Gordon denies Eder's shot
43' GOAL! Scotland 0-1 Portugal (Costa)
Portugal make the most of some late pressure in the first half. Costa had barely featured at all until the last few minutes. Rodrigues plays an accurate cross along the floor, beyond Gordon, and the Wolves man has a tap-in. 1-0!
53' CHANCE! McKenna's header wide out
74' GOAL! Scotland 0-2 Portugal (Eder)
Eder makes it 2-0 to Portugal, and they’ve barely broken a sweat this evening. Sanches chips in a great ball from the free-kick towards the back-post and Eder heads it back across goal, past Gordon. Amazingly, that’s his first international goal since the Euro 2016 final.
84' GOAL! Scotland 0-3 Portugal (Bruma)
The best piece of quality all game has come from substitute Fernandes, who played a perfectly weighted ball in behind for Bruma to chase. The winger then checked inside, pushed into the area and smashed the ball beyond Gordon into the top corner. 3-0!
93' GOAL! Scotland 1-3 Portugal (Naismith)
GOAL for Scotland! Mackay-Steven does well to control inside the box and then backheel it to an overlapping Naismith behind him. The Hearts striker comfortably curls it past token substitute Ramos in goal. 3-1 now.
Match Report
Portugal cruised to a 3-1 friendly win over Scotland at Hampden Park as debutant Helder Costa, Eder and Bruma piled the misery on Alex McLeish.
Defeat to Fernando Santos' side follows a woeful reverse against Israel on Thursday and means that McLeish has now lost six of his eight games in charge since taking the top job for the second time in February.
Eder and Bruma struck in the closing 16 minutes to ensure that Steven Naismith's neat strike deep into stoppage time was nothing more than a consolation goal for the hosts.
