Mikel Oyarzabal scores the penalty and Spain takes the lead!
This Sunday, the Spanish national football team will be aiming for their third consecutive qualification to the Final Four of the UEFA Nations League, as they face Netherlands at Mestalla. After a 2-2 draw in Rotterdam, where Spain managed to equalize in added time thanks to a goal from Mikel Merino, La Roja needs a win at home to secure their spot. Despite key absences, like Ayoze Pérez, and missing players Álvaro Morata and Robin Le Normand from training, Luis de la Fuente's team remains confident in their ability to achieve the goal, highlighted by their 22-match unbeaten streak in official competitions.
The match will be challenging, as Netherlands, featuring players like Gakpo and Memphis Depay, comes in with confidence after their strong performance in the first leg. Additionally, Spain hasn't played at Mestalla since 2019, when they defeated Norway in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. To secure qualification, La Roja will need to overcome defensive difficulties, especially with the untested central defender pairing of Le Normand and possibly Huijsen. The match kicks off at 3:45 PM ET. Stay tuned for more updates!
