Where to watch Spain vs Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League for free?
The first leg of the UEFA Nations League quarter-final between Spain vs Netherlands was truly an end-to-end match. Both teams showed a lot of grit and competitiveness as they fought till the very end. The winner of Spain vs Netherlands will face the winner of France vs Croatia in the semi-finals.
Spain are the current champions of the UEFA Nations League. They did extremely well in the group stages being drawn alongside Denmark, Serbia and Switzerland in Group 4 winning five matches and drawing one. This signified their strong title defense motive as they look to attain their second UEFA Nations League title.
However, it was only in the quarter-finals that they faced a quality national team, one of the best in the world namely Netherlands. Spain did score the first goal against Netherlands in the first leg however Netherlands improved dramatically in the match after conceding a goal. They kept Spain on the backfoot and managed to score two goals to make it 2-1 up until the last minute where they conceded another goal. Spain escaped thankfully and were a bit lucky in their second goal.
Netherlands had a decent run in the group stage of the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League Group stage. They were drawn alongside Germany, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group 3. Netherlands finished second in the group with only 9 points out of a possible 18.
They won two matches, lost one and drew three matches. Ronald Koeman’s biggest issue in the 2024 2025 UEFA Nations League has been drawing matches since Netherlands drew on three occasions in the group stage and then drew against Spain in the first leg of the quarter-final as well.
Ronald Koeman will not be very happy since after conceding the first goal, Netherlands were excellent and were constantly threatening Spain keeping them on the backfoot putting them under a lot of pressure. This pressure led to Netherlands scoring two deserving goals after which a slight lapse in defense and a rebound from the keeper led to Mikel Merino scoring the equalizer in injury time.
Spain vs Netherlands has been iconic over the years and their head-to-head record justifies it as well. Netherlands have won more friendlies and official matches over the years however Spain won on the most important occassion which is the FIFA World Cup Final 2010 and their encounters have become more intense ever since then. Spain’s biggest plight is not winning a 90 minute match against Netherlands since 1983 and they were almost going to lose in the first leg as well.
Spain faced a few injury concerns in the first leg with Pau Cubarsi facing an injury which has sidelined him for the rest of the season. Marc Casado, Inigo Martinez and Bryan Zaragoza are already sidelined because of their injuries. Hujisen has replaced Pau Cubarsi in the backline making Spain’s backline quite young and talented but a bit inexperienced. Netherlands on the other hand are devoid of Nathan Ake, Dumfries, Stefan De Vrij and Devyne Rensch because of injury issues.
