UEFA Nations League 2022/23: Portugal snatch late EQUALISER against Spain in a 1-1 draw

Gavi whipped narrowly wide in the opening exchanges, while Rafael Leao – making his first start for Portugal – blasted over at the other end.

Carlos Soler almost doubled Spain’s lead shortly after but was denied by Diogo Costa before blazing the rebound over, while Andre Silva drilled just wide of Unai Simon’s right post.

Leao spurned a presentable opportunity by firing into the onrushing Simons’ legs, before Morata prodded wastefully wide in an attempt to chip Costa.

Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced just after the hour, but it was another substitute, Horta, who equalised as he converted Joao Cancelo’s whipped cross, before Jordi Alba headed agonisingly wide with the goal gaping in the closing stages.
