Watch goals and match highlights after Spain and Portugal played out a 1-1 draw in their opening game of the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League.

Álvaro Morata gave Spain the lead in the first half but Ricardo Horta's neat finish helped Portugal claim a 1-1 draw in this Uefa Nations League tie.

And then, with Gavi finally withdrawn, they were also level, a sharp, swift cross tuned in by Horta. Portugal pressed to see if they could get another goal and Spain might still have won it, Jordi Alba sending a diving header wide in the final minutes. Arriving on the run, Carlos Soler hit a first shot that was stopped by Diogo Costa; his second, falling and on the rebound, flew too high from close range. Gavi, though, was still scampering about everywhere – another pass created a great chance that Morata put past the post. There were 10 minutes remaining when the Spain fans inside this stadium in Seville stood to applaud a 17-year-old from 20km down the road who looks as if he will go a very long way. It is the fourth time in a row these two sides have finished all square after 90 minutes.
