It was a hugely frustrating night for the away side as they met a solid Scottish defence at Hampden Park.
Portugal faltered in their most recent Nations League outing, drawing 0-0 away at Scotland.
It was a frustrating night for Roberto Martinez's men, who struggled with their finishing against the Tartan Army.
There were chances for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Jota, but the Al-Nassr man in particular did not have his shooting boots on.
Scotland also had their share of attacks, especially in the first half. Their pressing caught Portugal out a few times and Scott McTominay had a huge opportunity to score early on.
In the second half, it was virtually all Portugal, but for a few breaks from the hosts. Martinez introducing Rafael Leao, Bernardo Silva and Ruben Neves gave his side total control, but they still could not find the breakthrough.
Overall, Scotland will be happy with the point, while their opponents will be frustrated with the result, ending their perfect start to the new Nations League campaign.
GOAL rates Portugal's players from Hampden Park…
AFPGoalkeeper & Defence
Diogo Costa (7/10):
Made a few big stops from what was a dangerous Scotland side in front of their home crowd.
Joao Cancelo (6/10):
Most of Portugal's attacking threat came down the opposite flank and Cancelo rarely made any significant contributions in his inverted role.
Ruben Dias (7/10):
Defended well enough and showed the same calmness that he does under Pep Guardiola to play around Scotland's press.
Antonio Silva (7/10):
Did not do too much wrong but was caught in between crosses a few times with Scott McTominay a constant threat in the box.
Nuno Mendes (7/10):
Was always looking to get forward and often beat his man, but also left his defence exposed on the counter-attack.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
Played a deeper role than he is used to at Manchester United and ultimately failed to carve the breakthrough Portugal needed.
Joao Palhinha (6/10):
Picked up his customary yellow card and patrolled the midfield but offered little in terms of creativity.
Vitinha (7/10):
Will go unnoticed but played a key role when it came to recovering the ball and starting Portugal's attacks.
AFPAttack
Chico Conceicao (7/10):
Was a constant threat all night and covered every blade of grass while he was on.
Cristiano Ronaldo (4/10):
Did not have his best night, skying a few opportunities, having a few loose touches and cutting a frustrated figure in Glasgow.
Diogo Jota (5/10):
Was not seen often after picking up an early yellow card and was unsurprisingly taken off in the second half.
Subs & Manager
Ruben Neves (7/10):
Was not too involved as the visitors had all of the ball towards Scotland's box but looked sharp when he did pick it up.
Bernardo Silva (8/10):
Helped establish a period of continual attacks after coming on, with Scotland struggling to get out of their own half.
Rafael Leao (8/10):
Was bright when he came on, constantly running at his full-back and looking to get crosses in.
Nelson Semedo (N/A):
Did not have the desired effect in the final minutes.
Joao Felix (N/A):
Was never really given enough time to get into the game.
Roberto Martinez (7/10):
Made some good subs early on which tilted the game more in Portugal's favour and was ultimately let down by poor finishing on the night.
