Spain vs Portugal live: Latest score and updates as Iberian rivals vie for Nations League glory

A stabbed cross from Pedro Neto briefly has Unai Simon worried, though the goalkeeper withdraws his paw with the ball bound for the topside of the net.

An odd one, of course, for Roberto Martinez tonight, a Spaniard in charge of Spain. He seemed to love that goal, pumping the arms in his technical area.

Another excellent ball into the box from Spain, this time from the boot of Pedri, causes havoc, though Portugal just about clear their lines.

It’s wide open! A sumptuous ball from Lamine Yamal just evades Nico Williams as Diogo Costa shuts the space down effectively.

And Nuno Mendes provides it! What a season the left-back has had and that’s another magic moment!

Patient build-up play from Portugal leaves plenty of bodies between Mendes and goal as he picks up the ball 25 yards out. But a devastating drop of the shoulder creates enough room to unfurl an unstoppable drive into the far corner past Unai Simon.

Hang on, though – was Cristiano Ronaldo offside earlier in the movement?…Nope, goal stands!

A good bit of defending from Ruben Dias ensures that Spain don’t double their lead in short order. Portugal need something here, though…

Spain strike! Another fluent, flowing move and there’s Martin Zubimendi to tap in after a stroke of luck!

It had been coming. The pressure had been piled on Portugal in the last 10 minutes, Roberto Martinez’s men unable to get out. Lamine Yamal’s inswinging cross is deflected first by Ruben Dias and then Joao Neves, with the pair of Portuguese contriving to set up Zubimendi for the simplest of finishes.

A quick clearance of a possible offside by VAR, and Spain are 1-0 in front.

An early-ish booking for Goncalo Inacio, the centre-back second to a forward hoist and rather uncomfortably colliding with Mikel Oyarzabal’s neck and head. Perhaps a touch harsh, but the referee has set the tone.

Close again! You do rather feel for Joao Neves here, far from a specialist right back but having to contend with Nico Williams and all that the Athletic Bilbao trickster has in his toolbox. Williams sears Neves on the inside and then fires just over the angle of the goal.

Guided wide by Pedri! A scintillating move from Spain, a delicious switch from Dean Huijsen allowing Nico Williams room to roam down the left and then the Barcelona midfielder picked out 15 yards from goal. The intent is right, the execution not quite there, a vacant corner evaded by a few feet.
