But, it took Trincao's goal to take the match to extra time and then another one from him as soon as extra time began to give the Portuguese a 4-2 advantage, while then Gonçalo Ramos sealed the 5-2 figures that ensured the Lusitanians' continuation in this tournament.

The match between Spain and the Netherlands was spectacular, after a 2-2 draw in the first leg, and they scored the same result in the 90 minutes of the second leg. In extra time, Lamine Yamal scored a superb goal to give the Iberians the lead, but the hosts responded with Xavi Simmons. Thus, the match went to penalties to determine the semi-finalist. The Spaniards triumphed 5-4 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Nations League.
