It's hard to believe that Gavi is still only 17. He is so so good.

Pablo Sarabia hits the side-netting after cutting in from the right and shooting with his preferred left. He has been impressive tonight.
Rafael Leão had two excellent chances for the Seleção but couldn't get past Unai Simón.

Otavio crosses from the right but Unai Simón is off his line in a flash to collect the ball. 1-0

Spain manager Luis Enrique has been up and down the touchline this evening. Portugal's Fernando Santos has looked more relaxed in his suit.
Spain clear the resulting corner and lead 1-0 at the Benito Villamarín in Seville.
Jordi Alba blocks Bruno Fernandes' low cross from the right. Portugal's corner is played short. Bernardo Silva then crosses and it's back out for a corner on the other side.

Spain get us underway for the second half!
Spain lead at half-time
Rafael Leão had Portugal's best chance of the game but blazed over the bar from close range. Will we see Cristiano Ronaldo in the second half?
HT: Spain 1-0 Portugal
Spain lead at the break thanks to Álvaro Morata's goal after 25 minutes. Sarabia set the striker up with a low ball from the right and Morata scored with a first time finish past Diogo Costa.
Cancelo fouls Sarabia and referee Michael Oliver blows his whistle for half-time.
There will be one minute added on.

Spain play it short and there's another foul. La Roja have another free, this time closer to goal.
Ansu Fati is on the bench for Spain after a while on the sidelines through injury.
“Ansu Fati is a special case,” said Spain manager Luis Enrique when asked about Fati.
“He hasn’t played much lately. We want to see him regain his confidence. He’s a very important player and we want him to get back to his best.”
André Silva does really well to spin away from Pau Torres. He makes a yard of space for himself before sending a low left-footed strike wide of Unai Simón's right-hand post.
In tonight's other Group A2 game, the Czech Republic are beating Switzerland 1-0.
Soler!
The Valencia midfielder shoots over from eight yards after the ball rebounded off Costa. Gavi caused more problems for Portugal down the left, which led to the Soler chance. 1-0
It's a lovely La Roja move. Gavi plays in Sarabia on the right. Sarabia puts it on a plate for Morata first time and the No. 9 rolls it into the corner past Costa.
The camera turns to Ronaldo on the bench once again. He hasn't had too much to get excited about and is probably thinking of scoring his next international goal. He is currently on 115 international goals in 186 games for Portugal (0.62 goals per game).
Rafael Leão!
Guerreiro picks the Milan man out. He's alone in the box but shoots over from close range with a rising left-footed effort. Thats's the best chance of the game thus far.
Spain take the first corner of the game. It goes short to Gavi. Costa comes out to catch the cross.
There is some serious talent on show. AC Milan forward Rafael Leão, who has just won Serie A, is in attack for Fernando Santos' side. At 22, he already looks the real deal.
Barcelona's Ferran Torres commits a foul and the Seleção have a free. It's cleared away by Morata.
The Iberian derby has produced some tasty games down the years. The 2018 World Cup draw (3-3) was one of the outstanding encounters.
The two teams have met 38 times with Spain winning 17. Portugal have won six while the rest have been drawn.
If you're just joining us, Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench for Portugal.
Spain are looking to dominate early on at the Benito Villamarín but it remains 0-0.
Pepe, who is now 39, is back on his feet.
Porto defender Pepe is down on the ground and holding his neck. Yes, it is that Pepe. He is still around.
Spain are unable to make the most of their set piece. Diogo Costa collects for Portugal. There are some Portugal fans here. They've made the trip across the border.
And it is Gavi who has the first effort on goal but it's deflected and goes out for a corner.
La Roja have a good blend of youth and experience in their starting eleven tonight. Azpilicueta is at right-back. Gavi is also playing as part of a midfield three. He has had a very impressive season for Barcelona and Luis Enrique is a big fan.
We're underway at the Benito Villamarín.
Spain are playing from left to right.
The Spain national anthem is next. It's a quieter affair than the Portugal one.
And we have the Portugal national anthem first.
It's almost time for the national anthems.
Here come the teams!

Spain vs Portugal: how to watch, TV, online, streaming
Spain host Portugal in another edition of the Iberian Derby on Thursday, on this occasion in the UEFA Nations League.
Luis Enrique’s side were runners-up to France in last season’s finals and will hope to be in the mix again this campaign, although La Roja are something of a transitional side at the moment and far from the force they were on the world stage a decade ago, despite reaching the semifinals at the Euros.
Portugal's XI
Bruno Fernandes starts for Portugal but there is no Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.
The Manchester United forward starts on the bench in Seville.
Spain's starting XI vs Portugal
Luis Enrique has named the following starting XI for tonight's match with Portugal.
How many goals has Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Portugal?
At 37 years of age, Cristiano Ronaldo is still at the peak of his powers, scoring goals with Manchester United and breaking records on the international stage.
Ronaldo made his Portugal debut in a friendly win (1-0) against Kazakhstan in August 2003. In the same year, he joined Manchester United from Sporting CP and almost two decades later, he is still leading his country out as captain.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner equalled Ali Daei’s record of 109 international goals at Euro 2020 and then surpassed it with two goals against the Republic of Ireland last September, becoming the top international goalscorer of all time.
