The fourth round of the UEFA Nations League football match began on the 12th. The Swiss team beat Portugal 1:0 with a goal less than a minute into the game, ending a three-game losing streak. The Spanish team beat the Czech team 2-0 at home, with 2 wins and 2 draws, leading the second group of the A-League with 8 points.
Just 57 seconds into the match in Geneva that day, the Swiss striker Seferovic who played for Portugal’s Benfica team scored a header from close range, helping the home team to take the lead and creating the fastest goal in the UEFA Nations League. The Portuguese team failed to score 20 times since then. Be Silva’s strong shot and Jota’s powerful header were both blocked by Swiss goalkeeper Omlin.
After securing the victory with a score of 1:0, the Swiss team finally got 3 points in 4 games, but it was still only at the bottom of the second group. Portugal was the winner of the same day, Spain, took the group top by 1 point.
In Málaga, Spain dominated the ball most of the time, but did not create many attacking chances. However, with Soler’s stab into the net in the 24th minute and Sarabia’s pad shot in the 75th minute, the “Marriage” finally won 2:0.
The fifth and sixth group matches of the UEFA Nations League will be staged in late September.
