Spain 3-3 Netherlands (pens 5-4): Pedri scores decisive penalty to secure Nations League semi-final spot

Spain booked their place in the semi-finals of the Nations League after beating the Netherlands on penalties after a 3-3 draw at Mestalla.

Luis de la Fuente made changes to his team for the return leg, handing Dani Olmo a start and Pedri a place on the bench.

Lamine Yamal was also in the starting XI once more, while Ferran Torres had to settle for a place among the substitutes.

Spain got off to a great start and took the lead after just eight minutes. Mikel Oyarzabal was fouled in the box and promptly picked himself up and slotted home a confident penalty.
