Spain Edge France in Thrilling 5-4 Shootout: What This Dramatic Win Means for the Nations League Final and Beyond
Nico Williams broke the deadlock in Spain’s favour in the 22nd minute, and his team went to the break two goals up as Mikel Merino added a second in the 25th. Lamine Yamal scored the third from the spot in the 54th, and when Pedri added a fourth in the 57th, it seemed Luis de la Fuente’s men would cruise to the final without major difficulties. A penalty converted by Kylian Mbappe made it 4-1, but in the 67th, Yamal struck again for Spain. However, the ending almost became messy as Rayan Cherki (79′), and own-goal by Spain’s Dani Vivian (84′), and a stoppage-time goal from Randal Kolo Muani (93′) restored a little pride for France.
