MUNICH, Germany -- It was billed as Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lamine Yamal, a night when the baton would pass from one football superstar to the next, but when the decisive moment came in Portugal's UEFA Nations League final win against Spain, both could only watch from the sidelines as others took centre stage.
Diogo Costa's save from Alvaro Morata's spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out, after the Iberian neighbours had played out a high-quality 2-2 draw in Munich, enabled Rúben Neves to score the decisive penalty for a 5-3 Portugal win.
