Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal Beat Netherlands to Win UEFA Nations League Final

Portugal defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday.

In a match of few clear chances, the Portuguese were the more creative in attack, and it was Goncalo Guedes who fired the only goal of the game on the hour mark.

The Dutch failed to deliver a predatory threat in the box, and after a promising start fell away from the challenge at hand.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a quiet game, but his team played with the consistency needed to win the inaugural prize.
