Netherlands vs Spain UEFA Nations League 2025 Quarter-finals 1st leg: Merino's injury time goal helps Sapin draw 2-2 against 10 men Dutch team
Read the Netherlands vs Spain UEFA Nations League 2025 Quarter-finals 1st leg highlights as Mikel Merino's injury time goal helped Spain draw 2-2 against Netherlands.

Mar 20, 2025, 10:36 PM
Final Verdict
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.
What a ride it’s been! That’s all from us on this live blog—thanks for sticking with us through every twist and turn. Good night. See you on Sunday for the second leg.

2' | Pedri makes an effort at the goal
Within the first two minutes, we have Spain making an attack.
Morata found Pedri with a side of the foot flick.
But Pedri's effort went straight to Verbruggen
