Kevin Nisbet was on target for his first international goal – with his first touch after coming on as a substitute – but a breathtaking free-kick from Memphis Depay denied the Hibs striker a winning goal with a late equaliser.
Depay had been on target in the first half too, cancelling out an unlikely – though well-taken – opener from Jack Hendry.
Given all the covid implications of John Fleck's positive test result and a further group of players being unavailable, Steve Clarke will have taken positives from Portugal.

1. Craig Gordon - 7
Barely involved but when he was called up, interventions were vital. Punch to clear corner then instinctive arm denied van Aanholt. No chance for late free-kick stunner. Photo: Jose Breton - SNS Group / SFA
2. Liam Cooper - 7
Not a nailed on starter but didn't dent his chances at all. Cool in the first half with backheel clearance, and sensible uner pressure in the second with the same. Still has a chance of being involved on June 14. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
3. Jack Hendry - 8
A goal a midfielder or forward would be proud of and looked increasingly settled at this level as part of the three centre-backs. Photo: Jose Breton - SNS Group / SFA
4. Kieran Tierney - 8
Teams still don't know how to cope with him motoring forward from centre-half and his charges caused the Dutch difficulties while still capable of all his defensive duties, and more. A must-pick. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group / SFA
