Portugal defeat Spain on penalties to claim Second Nations League title

Portugal triumphed over Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout to win their second UEFA Nations League title after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.

Cristiano Ronaldo equalised in the 61st minute before being subbed off, later shedding tears of joy as teammate Ruben Neves scored the decisive penalty following a crucial save by goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

Earlier, Spain had taken the lead twice through Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal, with Nuno Mendes and Ronaldo responding for Portugal. The victory makes Portugal the first nation to win the Nations League twice, denying defending champions Spain a repeat title.
