00:00Salon Amos scores!
00:08An emphatic start for the Portuguese.
00:13When you go for power, when you go down the middle,
00:16I'm hoping maybe the goalkeeper dies out.
00:19Normally players, when they try and pick out a corner,
00:22he doesn't just go for the smash down the middle.
00:25Simon dies out of the way.
00:28Cristiano Ronaldo pleads for divine intervention.
00:32Mikel Moreno steps forward to take the first penalty for Spain.
00:39This is his third Nations League final.
00:42Can he brush off the pressure?
00:49Moreno! 1-1!
00:52The perfect response from Spain's point of view.
00:56That's a beautiful penalty.
00:58It's whipped, side netting.
01:00Keeper has no chance if he goes the right way.
01:02But the Portuguese fans are behind the goal.
01:04It's so funny how quiet they were when Ramos took his.
01:06How noisy they were when Mourinho stepped up to take that.
01:09That is a real test of nerve with that crowd baying for you to miss.
01:12He took it home so effortlessly.
01:14Next cap off the rank,
01:16Vettinho.
01:18What a season this man has had.
01:22One of the stars of the show with Barry St. Germain in France,
01:25as they have won a quadruple, including the Champions League.
01:28Now, can he hold his nerve from 12 yards out?
01:34Vettinho!
01:36Strikes with conviction!
01:40Yes, that slow approach, and then he just quickens up as he strikes the ball.
02:00The way that he strikes it, the way that he whips it,
02:03it's always moving away from the goalkeeper.
02:05It's a difficult height for a keeper to get to.
02:07It's a good penalty.
02:09Fingernail's been bitten.
02:23It's getting very serious now.
02:27Alex Baena of Villareal.
02:30Another penalty of the highest quality.
02:36Four successful kicks out of four,
02:39as this Nations League final remains in the Palace.
02:43Outstanding penalties.
02:44All four.
02:46It's so, so difficult.
02:47You know he can put the ball into the back of the net.
02:49You're an international footballist.
02:51Just can you deal with the pressure?
02:53And all four, so far, have done that superbly.
02:56Portugal's next penalty kick taker.
02:59He is renowned as a specialist in this regard.
03:02Seven successful penalty kicks out of seven at club level this season.
03:09And no one, including Cristiano Ronaldo, has ever scored more penalty kicks for Manchester United than Bruno Fernandes.
03:15Portugal keep their noses in front.
03:33Pressure.
03:34What pressure.
03:36That's an unerring penalty.
03:37The way that he just kind of jumps into the ball as he strikes it.
03:42That's a technique that has served him ever so well.
03:44He just drops onto the ball.
03:46Again, it's into the side netting.
03:48It's pretty much unsavable even if you do read what he's trying to do.
03:53Well, wherever you're watching around the world, if perhaps you've gone up early this morning to watch this, maybe you're staying up late.
04:00This is sporting drama at its finest.
04:05Isco, the experienced Spaniard.
04:08To level things up again, but I'll tell you what, Diogo Costa got a glove to that.
04:153-3.
04:16I didn't even hear the slap.
04:18The keeper did get something on it.
04:20Just couldn't keep it out.
04:21But as you mentioned, fastly experienced Isco.
04:24He's had a brilliant season with Betis.
04:27The goalkeeper actually really dives just past it and he can't get his arm back to keep it out.
04:32He's so unlucky.
04:33Three successful penalties each.
04:36But with every scored spot kick, it just increases the pressure on the next players to follow.
04:44Nuno Mendez, another Champions League winner this season.
04:48One of the star players of this week in Germany at these Nations League finals.
04:53Can he deliver here?
05:00Short run up.
05:02What a scintillating finish at Portugal lead again.
05:07Being a left footer, that is the natural way you go.
05:10That's kind of the natural swipe of the ball.
05:12But if you lift it, you lift the ball, you run the risk of maybe flashing it over the crossbar.
05:17But this is beautifully taken.
05:20Keeper dives the right way, but the height is the problem.
05:22Keepers never going to get there.
05:23Bags of pace on it, swerving away from the keeper too.
05:26Stepping forward for Spain.
05:30On his 86th international appearance, Alvaro Morata.
05:42And it's sold by Thiago Costa.
05:47The first missed penalty of the shootout.
05:54And it is very much advantage Portugal now.
06:01I'm surprised.
06:02Such an experienced player.
06:04He really telegraphed where he was looking to strike that.
06:07It's a poor penalty.
06:08It's saveable.
06:10What an opportunity to win the title now.
06:15This next kick can decide it.
06:18Can Portugal make it a perfect 5 out of 5?
06:22Ruben Neves.
06:24Portugal have won the Nations League final.
06:36Since Euro 2016, they have flirted with glory.
06:49Tonight, Portugal are bringing it home again.
06:53You have to admire their resilience, their quality.
06:58Not many people really expect them to be...
