In the UEFA Nations League, Switzerland and Slovenia secured victories in their respective Group B1 matches. Switzerland defeated Scotland 3-0 at Hampden Park, with goals from Ricardo Rodriguez, Nico Elvedi, and Zeki Amdouni. The Swiss performance was aided by an early red card for Scotland's Jack Hendry.
Slovenia also claimed a 2-0 victory over North Macedonia in Ljubljana. Goals from Sandi Lovric and Aljosa Matko secured the win, moving Slovenia to four points in the standings.
The defeat leaves North Macedonia at the bottom of the group with zero points. The Macedonian national team is currently facing a significant scoring drought, having gone multiple matches without a goal under coach Goce Sedloski. Their next fixture is against Scotland on October 3.
