Álvaro Morata scored the 1-0 counterattack goal for Spain vs. Portugal.

In the first half, the 'Roja' took advantage of a Portuguese error and scored a counterattack goal for Spain vs. Portugal. The goal was scored by Álvaro Morata.

A goal by Spanish striker Álvaro Morata, at 25 minutes, put Spain ahead at halftime of their match against Portugal, from the first round of the third edition of the Nations League, held at the Benito Villamarín stadium.

After a first half with greater Spanish dominance, which also had more chances and shots on goal against Diogo Costa's goal, Morata increased this superiority on the scoreboard at halftime by taking advantage of a good counterattack conducted masterfully by Gavi, who opened to the right for Pablo Sarabia and his cross into the area was perfectly finished by the Madrid-born striker to make it 1-0.

Draw at the Benito Villamarín

Spain and Portugal drew 1-1 this Thursday at the start of their journey in the new edition of the Nations League at the Benito Villamarín stadium in Seville.

La Roja opened the scoring with a goal by Álvaro Morata (25), but ten minutes from the end Ricardo Horta (82) equalized for Portugal, which left their star Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.

Portugal and Spain thus each have one point in Group 2 of the Nations League's League A, behind the Czech Republic, who won 2-1 against Switzerland in the other match of the group.
