Spain vs Netherlands LIVE: Nations League updates as hosts take early lead through Oyarzabal penalty

It’s been an exceptionally eventful first half of the first half, it must be said. Now Williams is down wanting a penalty, but it’s waved away.

The Netherlands have settled more since the goal, but it’s Spain providing the constant threat.

Now it’s the Netherlands chance to attack, but it ends with Kluivert firing a shot over. It’s still Spain looking the most dangerous, despite the Dutch possession.

Depay wants a penalty after being dragged down by Le Normand but nothing doing for the ref.

At the other end, Huijsen threads another pass to Williams, who cuts back outside but sees his shot blocked.

The left-hand wing has been a dangerous outlet there for the Spanish, with Huijsen and Williams linking well.

Spain are certainly dominating here and Olmo is almost through to square a cross after Mingueza’s brilliant through ball, but the ball in is blocked.

Spain keep hold of it and it ends with Ruiz volleying in a cross too close to Verbruggen.

The Dutch need some time to catch their breath now and they’re knocking it around the Spain box before Huijsen makes a good interception.

The centre-back exchanges passes before slipping a ball into the path of Williams, who surges towards goal and forces a good save from Verbruggen.

What a start this has been for La Roja.

It looked like Spain had doubled the lead but it’s offside. It’ll be checked!

It all comes from some lovely play in the middle from Yamal, who beats two men near halfway and runs into space. He sees Oyarzabal making the run and threads it through, with the scorer squeezing a great finish into the far corner, but he’d strayed off.

Oyarzabal steps up an d rifles his penalty low and hard into the corner! 1-0 to La Roja.

PENALTY! The referee points to the spot after van Hecke brings down Oyarzabal in the box. It’s clumsy, but soft.

The first real injection of pace sees Williams beat his man before he’s tackled, but Spain keep the pressure on…
