Scotland got their first win in the UEFA Nations League with a big win over Croatia, thanks to a John McGinn goal. Switzerland were relegated to League B in the other big on-field news of the night, but it was Romania vs Kosovo that stole the headlines, with the away players walking off the pitch in protest as the home fans cheered.
Scotland got their first win in the UEFA Nations League with a 1-0 win over Croatia at Hampden Park in Glasgow, thanks to a John McGinn goal. The win gives them four points in Group A1 and keeps Scotland in the league, at least until Monday's game against Poland, while Portugal will play Croatia.
Northern Ireland took a big step towards promotion to League B with a comfortable 2-0 win over Belarus at Windsor Park. A draw against Luxembourg next Monday will be enough to secure Michael O'Neill's side promotion. Goals from Daniel Ballard and Dion Charles ensured the hosts topped Group C3 with 10 points, two points above second place.
Switzerland drew 1-1 with Serbia, confirming relegation to League B for the first time, with the result leaving them bottom of Group A4. They were held to a draw in Zurich when they needed a 2-0 win to have a chance of survival. The hosts led 1-0 in the 78th minute, but Terzic's goal ten minutes later killed their hopes.
The other Group C match between Romania and Kosovo was interrupted due to fan behaviour. The Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo in Bucharest was reportedly abandoned in injury time after fans taunted Kosovo players with Serbian chants at the Bucharest National Stadium. Kosovo players left the pitch after the chants, causing the match to be suspended at 0-0.
In other matches, Luxembourg lost 0-1 to Bulgaria, with Bulgaria's Kraev scoring the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute. Cyprus defeated Lithuania 2-1, completing a double kill against its opponent. San Marino drew 1-1 with Gibraltar at home.
