Scotland’s women ended a European Championship qualifying campaign of missed opportunities with a demoralising 2-0 defeat to streetwise Portugal.
Scotland, who had the better of the match, were unable to take their chances, despite having 70% of possession and six shots on target.
Portugal however, were ruthless, and capitalised on Scotland’s wastefulness with a goal in both halves, scored by Ana Capeta and Fatima Pinto.
The loss leaves Scotland with no wins against the two teams above them in Qualifying Group E – Finland and Portugal.
