LIVE: Portugal, Netherlands Duel for First UEFA Nations League Title

Portugal and Netherlands are vying for the first UEFA Nations League title as they meet in Porto on Sunday.

Both sides won their respective semifinals 3-1, albeit in differing circumstances. Portugal rode a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo, with his two late strikes snapping a deadlock and sending the Euro 2016 champions through. The Netherlands, meanwhile, benefited from a VAR decision that could've given England a late 2-1 lead in regulation and instead capitalized on two defensive blunders by the Three Lions to go through with an extra-time victory.

The matchup pits Ronaldo against two defensive giants, with the Netherlands' Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt out to silence the host nation's captain.
