Spain and Portugal met in a winner-takes-all match on Tuesday night for a chance to make it to the Nations League Finals. Their latest face-off was suspenseful until the very last moment, but Alvaro Morata’s dramatic goal eventually led the Spanish side to the much-needed victory. Manchester United’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo created several chances for Portugal, but it wasn’t enough to lead his team to victory. The Spanish side eventually prevailed, largely thanks to their great defense and a dramatic goal by Alvaro Morata, which came just two minutes before the final whistle. The Spanish striker, who currently plays for Juventus on a loan from Atlético Madrid, described this game as a difficult one to win, adding that the great team effort eventually got them over the finish line. “If we were knocked out it had to be by leaving everything on the field and that's how it was one more time for us. Every time that Spain has to show up in big games we do it. That's how we do it and tonight we did it again," said Morata. Spain ensured the top spot in Group A2 thanks to this victory and qualified for the Nations League Finals. Switzerland was in the third spot after Portugal, while the Czech Republic was relegated to Group B after finishing last.
