No Ronaldo, but Portugal sink Scots

Helder

Costa marked his Portugal debut with a goal as the European champions eased to a 3-1 friendly win over Scotland on Sunday.

Wolves forward Costa opened the scoring late in the first half at Hampden Park.

And despite the absence of Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Santos’s side wrapped up a comfortable victory when Eder and Bruma netted in the second half.

Ronaldo has been left out of the squad while he fights to clear his name following allegations of rape, which he strongly denies. (AFP)
