Cristiano Ronaldo's late-game heroics helped Portugal secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Scotland in their UEFA Nations League clash. Scotland took an early lead in the 7th minute, thanks to a well-executed goal by Scott McTominay. 
However, Portugal, undeterred by the early setback, kept pushing for an equalizer. Bruno Fernandes delivered a stunning long-range strike in the 54th minute to level the score.
Ronaldo, who had started the match on the bench, came on in the second half and made a significant impact. His decisive moment came in the 88th minute when he stretched to connect with a cross from Nuno Mendes, sending the ball into the net and completing Portugal's comeback. This win marked another memorable contribution from the 39-year-old Ronaldo, adding to his ever-growing tally of career goals.
Despite Scotland's solid defense and an impressive performance from goalkeeper Angus Gunn, they were unable to withstand Portugal's relentless attacks, ultimately falling short in the final moments.
