Portugal win inaugural UEFA Nations League

Guardar

Portugal have added the UEFA Nations League crown to their UEFA EURO 2016 triumph after Gonçalo Guedes's second-half strike downed the Netherlands.

Guedes's goal was his fourth in 17 appearances for Portugal, and his first competitive international strike.

Portugal are unbeaten in their last ten matches (W5 D5) and 14 competitive games unbeaten on home turf, dating back to September 2014.

Jasper Cillessen became only the fifth goalkeeper to earn 50 caps for the Netherlands.

Now, eventually, attention will then switch back to UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying this autumn. Portugal resume their title defence away to Serbia on 7 September. The Netherlands face Germany yet again on 6 September – it was, of course, a 3-0 victory against their great neighbours that set the Oranje on the road to the UEFA Nations League final.
