Portugal vs Spain live stream
Neighbouring powerhouses Portugal and Spain face off in a rematch of last year’s UEFA Nations League final, but this time the prize is a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. However, given their performances so far, it seems likely that the outcome will be quite different this time around.
WATCH HERE;
Portugal give off the vibe of a team that lacks sufficient motivation to win until the moment they start falling behind. The first half against Croatia once again showed no class and was almost soporific.
The moment the Croatians scored, however, the Selecao das Quinas shifted into high gear. The draw seemed all but certain until Goncalo Ramos’s goal in the 94th minute.
The problem, however, is that while Croatia, on paper, had the most experienced squad at major tournaments, they are far from Spain’s level. And Portugal won’t get anywhere if they repeat their performance from this match and the games against Colombia and Congo.
La Roja put on a show against Austria, dominating every aspect of the game. Overall, they could have scored far more than three goals, but luck also plays a role in football. The fact remains, however, that Austria didn’t stand a chance, finishing the match with only five shots and not a single one on target.
After the first knockout round, Spain remain one of only two teams (along with Mexico) that have not conceded a goal in this World Cup.
