Netherlands vs Spain LIVE: Latest score and updates from Nations League quarter-final

Netherlands 0-1 Spain

That goal seems to have shocked the hosts a bit – they were in control before Hato was robbed off possession!

Gakpo tries to work his side into the game with a teasing cross but it’s well dealt with by Cucurella.

GOAL! Out of nowhere, the visitors lead!

Hato is caught out by Yamal right on the touchline and the Barca youngster squares it to Pedri in the box.

Plenty of possession for the hosts in the opening exchanges. The Spanish haven’t been able to exert control at all yet.

Netherlands 0-0 Spain

Now it’s the hosts’ first attack, as Frimpong gets forward and hooks in an early cross. Gakpo collects, but he fires well over after cutting inside.

Contrary to the earlier team news, the team graphics have Frimpong starting as an out-and-out right winger.

Spain have won all five of their last five matches, with a draw in their other Nations League group game (0-0 against Serbia away).

La Roja beat Serbia at home and then won home and away against Denmark and Switzerland over the course of the campaign, scoring 13 and conceding just four in the process.

Previous meetings: Spain 1-5 Netherlands, 2014 World Cup

If that 2010 World Cup win signalled Spain as one of the great sides in football history, this match was the one that signalled the end of that dynasty.

Four years on from the win in South Africa, these two sides met again in Group B in Brazil, and the Netherlands got their revenge in spectacular style.

Despite Spain going 1-0 up through a Xabi Alonso penalty, the Dutch hit back through a now-famous van Persie header before Arjen Robben gave them the lead.

From there it was one-way traffic as both van Persie and Roben secured a brace after Stefan de Vrij had made it 3-1, giving the Netherlands one of the most famous results in recent World Cup history.
