It is the replay of the last effort. Donnarumma saves Ayoze's shot.

Yamal and Pedri make way for Ferran Torres and Baena.

Williams hammers the crossbar with a right-footed curler from the left. 

Le Normand gets a yellow card. 

Chance for Italy as Retegui sent a cross from the right and no was there in the center of the box to receive that.

Retegui and Zaccagni replace Scamacca and Chiesa.

Cambiaso makes a goal-line block. 

Morata goes for the goal with a rocket from the edge of the box. Donnarumma had to jump and send that ball for a corner.

Very unfortunate for Riccardo Calafiori. Nico Williams with the cross from left and Morata was able to get a head on the ball which was eventually partially saved by Donnarumma. But, the deflected ball hit Calafoiri on the legs and went straight into the goal. Spain lead.

Pedri takes a chance with his right foot from the edge of the box. But, it goes straight to Donnarumma.

Good cross from Cucurella but it was too quick for Pedri to control and flick it inside the goal. 

Yellow card for Cristante for a foul on Rodri

Farttesi and Jorghino are replaced by Cambiaso and Cristanto. 

Spain start the second half. 

First half ends without any goals with Spain dominating the most part of the match and with most chances as well. 

Yellow card for Rodri. He will miss the next match. 

A chance for Italy after a long time as Spain lost the ball. Chiesa had found all the Spanish defenders running behind him, he decided take a shot from outside the box.

Fabian Ruiz takes another chance with his left foot but it is an easy grab for his club teammate Donnarumma. 

🤩 What a year for Lamine Yamal!

Spain’s midfield is so good. imagine what England could do with a great passer, a defensive-minded player who’s the first name on the teamsheet in a top Premier League side and one of the best young midfielders in the world.

Ruiz to Carvajal on the right and then a cut back to Rodri in the middle. This is beautiful from Spain. However, Rodri's shot is blocked by Bastoni.

Fabian Ruiz takes a chance from outside the box and he was on target from a very far. Donnarumma had to dive to his right and send the ball for a corner.

What a run from Lamine Yamal! The youngster kept on dribbling and running past the defenders before passing the ball to Morata. Morata kept on taking the ball to his right and the angle made Donnarumma make the save. 

Spain are playing very, very high and has been found running a few times as a defensive side. But, with Rodri being there in the middle, they have been able to play with that formation and press high. 

Yellow card for Donnarumma.

This time it is Williams, who misses the header from a cross by Morata.

Scamacca with a great run with his back heel is recovered by Rodri.

After a tussle with Pedri, Pellegrini is injured and looks in pain. 

A brilliant cross from Williams. Pedri, unmarked, should have scored with the header. However, he goes over the bar. Good start for Spain.

Good cross from the left as well by Isco.

Portugal dominated in the first 15 minutes, but Spain did well to keep it 2-2.

Are we having a goal, or are penalties coming?

Yamal's powerful shot went staright to Diogo Costa.

Portugal were close to getting the lead, but Baena stood at his position to clear the chance out.

Leao has been ripping the Spain defence since coming in. 

But, Pedro Porro came to rescue again as Portugal earned another corner. 

VAR check confirmed that there was no penalty in that. Top class referring. 

Nuno Mendes went down inside the box, but the penalty appeal was denied.

After that, Portugal and Spain players went for a brawl. 

Yellow card for Bruno for dissent. Mendes and Baena also were booked.

Yamal and Isco played in between them before Isco sent a cross for a header. 

But Veiga's partial clearance allowed Cucurella a great sight and aim at the goal.

He had the space and the area where he liked. But, this time, he wanted to go for the power, rather than trying for that curling shot.

The shot went directly to Costa.

Portugal Changes 

In: Veiga, Leao

Out: Inacio, Silva

Spain changes

In: Isco, Merino

Out: Pedri, Ruiz

Nelson Semedo had the chance to find Ronaldo or Neto on the left of him with a cross.

He decided to go at the goal and it went staright to Simon.

After nearly 20 passes, Nico looked to make a cutback and then go for the shot with his right foot. 

He missed the target by a meter.

What a night he is having!

He now blocked an on-target effort from Pedri!

As I was saying, he needs just one moment to turn things around. 

Cristiano Ronaldo equalises for Portugal.

Mendes' cross was deflected into the box for him to just nudge Cucurella and hit the back of the goal.

POR 2-2 ESP.

Ronaldo, not for the first time, is dispossessed again. Portugal missed a few chances after Ronaldo lost the ball. 

But, we all know, in just one moment, he can turn things around.

Pedri didn’t misplace a single pass in the first half (22/22).

And one of them was perfectly timed for Mikel Oyarzabal’s goal. 🤌#NationsLeague pic.twitter.com/uI2qIcXsu3

Fabian Ruiz takes his chance with a left-footed effort from the outside of the box.

It was bit akward for Costa. But, he made a good save going down to his left.

Nuno Mendes has been clinical against Yamal so far. He has won all the battles against the wonderkid. Portugal dominating, but Spain are looking relaxed.

Portugal made two changes as we come back from the break.

Spain would be delighted with the goal right before half-time. They go into the break with a slight advantage. 

More goals coming in the second half? 

Let's see.

VAR check was done to check if there was a foul on Silva, leading to the goal.

He is inevitable! 

Oyarzabal scores for Spain. 

Spain broke through the Portugal's defence from their own half. 

Pedri's run, and the pass was sublime, just like the finish from Oyarzabal, who defeated Costa to hit the back of the net. 

Goals in two Nations League finals, and one in that special Euro 2024 final, Oyarzabal is the man made for big nights. 

Portugal 1-2 Spain.

Neto was looking for Ronaldo with the lobbed cross, but Spain defenders had cut the angle for him. The cross went over the goal

Yellow card for Ruiz for fouling Pedro Neto, to stop Portugal's counterattack. 

Yamal again picked out Nico inside the box with a lobbed ball. But with Costa coming in, Nico could not be on target with the defection. 

A VAR check was done to check if Ronaldo was offside, leading to the goal. Goal given. 

Nuno Mendes equalises for Portugal. 

A quick one and two, and Nuno Mendes, with the space given at the left of the box, struck powerfully to score his first-ever International goal. 

Portugal 1-1 Spain.

Cucurella found Nico on the left. As Nico was making an entry inside the box, Dias won the physical battle and won the goal kick for Portugal as well. 

Martin Zubimendi scores for Spain. 

Yamal's lobbed ball for Nico was not cleared well by Portugal defenders and Costa. Zubimendi, at the right place at the right time, just tapped the ball inside the goal for Spain's first.

Portugal 0-1 Spain

Yellow card for Inácio for an elbow on Oyarzabal.

Yamal's cross pass found Nico on the left. Nico made a quick cut back before going for the goal with a curling right-footed shot. 

But the ball did not curl enough for him to give Spain the lead. 

Yamal's cross pass found Nico on the left. Nico made a quick cut back before going for the goal with a curling right-footed shot. 

But the ball did not curl enough for him to give Spain the lead. 

Nico with an accurate cut-back pass, Pedri, running at it, missed the goal with the effort. 

Hue miss. 

Pedri left it for the 17-year-old to go for the goal with the free-kick. His kick went over the goal. 

As I was saying, Yamal runs through Silva and Mendes, Silva stopped him, he won the ball again and won a free-kick from the edge of the box as Bruno fouled him.

Both teams are waiting for the mistake from other team. 

Mendes tried to stitch an attack for Portugal, while Nico and Fermin looked to build up for Spain. 

No sign of Yamal magic yet.

From a short corner, Neves from the center of the box had the chance to go for a volley. He had power but the not the direction he was looking for. 

Ronaldo found Neto on the left. Neto's pace allowed Portugal to go for an attack ,and his attempted cross was deflected for a corner.
