Spain Edge France in Thrilling 5-4 Shootout: What This Dramatic Win Means for the Nations League Final and Beyond
France came close again through Mbappe in the 31st minute, but Simon denied the Real Madrid attacker once more. Another six minutes later, the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper stood up again to save his team, this time making a fine save from Dembele. Two minutes before the break, Spain thought they had gone 3-0 up through Huijsen, but the goal was ruled out for offside, before Simon stopped Dembele from scoring yet again at the other end.
Three minutes into the second half, it became painfully clear from France’s point of view that this was not going to be Dembele’s evening as the PSG forward failed to get on the end of a powerful low cross from Hernandez.
