Nations League Round-up: England Win, Scotland Trounced
Scotland created the better chances after halftime but could not beat Jan Oblak, leaving Pocognoli with a point in his first match in charge.
- On Saturday, September 26, 2026, Scotland played to a goalless draw against Slovenia in their UEFA Nations League Group B1 opener in Ljubljana, marking Sebastien Pocognoli's managerial debut as Scotland head coach.
- Appointed in August to replace Steve Clarke, Pocognoli implemented a 3-5-2 formation at Stadion Stožice, introducing debutants Stephen Welsh and Robbie Ure to refresh the squad following Scotland's World Cup exit.
- Scotland dominated the second half with 15 shots to Slovenia's three, but Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak made several critical saves to deny Oli McBurnie and Kieron Bowie, preserving the goalless result.
- Pocognoli described the performance as 'two games in the same game,' acknowledging that tactical halftime adjustments shifted momentum in Scotland's favor, though the team begins his tenure with a point rather than a victory.
- Scotland now prepare to host group favourites Switzerland at Hampden Park on Tuesday, needing to convert the scoring opportunities generated against Slovenia into points against higher-ranked opposition.
