Cristiano Ronaldo had kept Portugal in the game when he equalised in the 61st minute of regular time with his record-extending 138th goal after Mikel Oyarzabal had given Spain a halftime lead. Oyarzabal squeezed the ball past Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the 45th after Pedri played him in.
Martin Zubimendi had broken the deadlock in the 21st minute with a tap in when Portugal’s defence failed to deal with Lamine Yamal’s cross, then Nuno Mendes levelled five minutes later when he drilled a low shot inside the far post.
