Nico Williams scored the opener in the 22nd minute and Spain got another from Mikel Merino just three minutes later. Spain took that 2-0 lead to halftime and scored two more within the first 15 minutes of the second half – including a Lamine Yamal penalty – to make it 4-0.

After Portugal's 2-1 win against Germany in the first semifinal of the 2025 edition of the UEFA Nations League, France will face Spain on Thursday for the other semifinal, with the winning team facing the same Portugal on Sunday at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Spain has actually been the most consistent country through the first three editions of the Nations League. Though they missed out on the championship match in 2019, La Roja advanced to the final in 2021 and 2023, losing to France four years ago before defeating Croatia to win the third UNL title.
