Spain vs Portugal was an intense match for the neutral as both teams share a point after a spectacular 1-1 draw.
Cristiano Ronaldo was only named on the bench for the 2016 European champions as Rafael Leo joined Andre Silva and Bernardo Silva in the attack, while Luis Enrique went for Alvaro Morata and Ferran Torres in Spain's front line.
The game got off to a lively start as Gavi went close with a half-volley from the edge of the box after just four minutes after some good work by Cesar Azpilicueta.
Portugal had to wait until the 18th minute for their first opening as Raphael Guerreiro did well to pick out Leao, who sent a first-time strike just over the crossbar.
However, the opening goal arrived just 10 minutes later when Pablo Sarabia sent a well-weighted cross to Morata, who calmly slotted home from close range after a swift counter attack.
The Portuguese pushed for an equaliser before the halftime whistle but they were unable to find a way past the Spanish defence, with Andre Silva going closest with a low strike.
Selecao coach Fernando Santos responded with a change at the start of the second half, as Joao Moutinho made way for his Wolverhampton Wanderers teammate Ruben Neves in midfield.
Spain shot-stopper Unai Simon was called into action just before the break after pulling off a fine superb save to keep out Leao's shot at his near post.
Ronaldo finally made his introduction on 63 minutes along with Goncalo Guedes, while La Roja coach Enrique threw on Koke and Dani Olmo a couple minutes later.
However, it was another substitute who made the desired impact for Portugal as Ricardo Horta brought his side level in the 82nd minute after turning home a cross from Joao Cancelo on his second appearance for Selecao.
Spain had a chance to win then game on 90 minutes when Sarabia's cross deflected into the path of Jordi Alba, who steered his header wide of the upright as the encounter ended all square.

Moments & Full-time verdict!
Portugal advanced in emphatic style, overcoming an early setback to defeat Denmark 5-2 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s shocking penalty miss in the 6th minute, Portugal found their breakthrough thanks to a bit of fortune — a Joachim Andersen own goal in the 38th minute gave them a narrow halftime lead.
Denmark came out fighting in the second half, with Rasmus Kristensen’s composed finish in the 56th minute briefly sparking hope for the Danes. But when the pressure mounted, Portugal’s stars rose to the occasion. Ronaldo redeemed himself with a 72nd-minute strike, only for Christian Eriksen to level things again just four minutes later in a dramatic exchange.
The turning point came through Francisco Trincão, whose clinical finishes in the 81st and 91st minutes shattered Danish resilience. Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory in extra time with a composed goal in the 115th minute, ensuring Portugal’s place in the next round.
Ronaldo’s missed penalty could have defined the night — but instead, it was Portugal’s relentless attacking depth and resilience that stole the show.

Final verdict!
It is really sad that one of these two teams will not be going to the semifinals after such an extraordinary performance.
If you are a neutral fan, it was an epic night for you. But if you're a fan or from Netherlands and Spain, it was a night of heartbreaks and wins.
Spain kept on getting the leads, but Netherlands continued to fight back and equalize. In the end, it was the penalties that differentiated the two teams.
Unai Simon was the hero for Spain as he made an important save in the sudden death.
It has been a really long night, and I hope you have enjoyed every bit of this coverage. This is Koushik Biswas, signing off. Good night, and take care.

First leg story | Netherlands 2-2 Spain
Not many people saw this coming—hardly anyone pegged the Dutch to come out on top before the match kicked off. However, Koeman’s men came so close to earning every bit of a well-deserved victory.
They started off a little wobbly, sure, but soon found their rhythm, moving the ball with confidence. Gakpo and Frimpong were electric out wide, constantly throwing the Spanish defense off balance, while the backline held strong—almost to the very end—until Merino slipped one through.
