Spain and Portugal are battling it out in the decisive UEFA Nations League final in Munich. The match is fiercely contested, with De la Fuente’s men currently edging closer to victory.
Subimendi opened the scoring in the 21st minute, but Mendes quickly restored parity just five minutes later. The Spanish side kept up the pressure on Diogo Costa’s goal and struck again right before halftime.
Oyarzabal timed his run perfectly to avoid the offside trap, slotting the ball past the keeper into the corner. The replay showed Manchester City’s defender Ruben Dias was just a few centimeters closer to the goal line.
Remarkably, Oyarzabal has now scored for Spain in the final of a major tournament for the third time. The Real Sociedad forward previously found the net in the decisive matches of the Nations League in 2021 and the European Championship in 2024. You can also add his goal in the Olympic final in 2021 to his impressive tally.
