Early red card compounds Scotland’s 3-0 defeat by Switzerland

Scotland lost 3-0 to Switzerland at Hampden after Jack Hendry was sent off in the 11th minute. Hendry grabbed Dan Ndoye, and Switzerland scored from the resulting free-kick, leaving new coach Sebastien Pocognoli’s side a goal down and a man short. [1]

Captain Andy Robertson said defenders had to make split-second decisions, but that the red card “killed us”, in comments reported by BBC Sport. Scotland have now gone four consecutive matches without scoring, BBC Scotland chief sports writer Tom English wrote on 29 September. [1]
