Thanks for joining us and do make sure to come back on Sunday for the quarter-final second legs as we find out which teams will make it to the finals.

Bye for now.

We're halfway through the Nations League quarter-finals but what happens next?

Well, the semi-finals are scheduled for Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 June 2025, and then the final is on Sunday 8 June (to be hosted by Italy or Germany).

The draw for the final four has already been made and is as follows:

• Italy or Germany vs Denmark or Portugal
• Netherlands or Spain vs Croatia or France

A penalty from Napoli's Scott McTominay helped Scotland to edge past Greece in Athens in their Nations League play-off first leg.

Also in the play-offs the Republic of Ireland secured a 2-1 win away in Bulgaria thanks to goals from Finn Azaz and Matt Doherty.

So there we have it.

Croatia, Denmark and Germany will take leads into the second legs of their respective ties with France, Portugal and Italy.

Holders Spain remain locked in stalemate with the Netherlands.

Roll on Sunday when we will find out which four teams will contest the finals tournament.

A come-from-behind victory for Germany against Italy after Sandro Tonali's early strike for the hosts.

It's all over.

The Dutch put up a staunch rearguard display and thought Tijjani Reinder's rapid goal after the interval had won it, but Mikel Merino's late strike ensures that the tie hangs in the balance.

Rasmus Hojlund's 78th minute goal hands the Danes victory on the night and a one goal advantage in the tie ahead of the second leg in Lisbon on Sunday.

Portugal want a penalty but they're not going to get one.

Bernardo Silva ran into the box and collided with Manchester neighbour Patrick Dorgu but it was no more than a coming together and the referee rightly waves it away.

All over and it is advantage Croatia in the battle for a place in final four. The second leg takes place on Sunday.

Jonas Wind and Andreas Olsen combine well down the Denmark right but Olsen smashes his low shot into the sidenetting.

Shot after shot is fired at the Netherlands goal but still no Spanish equaliser.

It's been a proper rearguard effort from the Dutch at times in this second half.

Perhaps Ronald Koeman's pre-match remarks about parking the bus were well founded after all.

We're into the first of four minutes of stoppage time and it looks like being a night of frustration for France.

Portugal have offered very little since the Danes took the lead.

Indeed they have been very flat for the most part tonight but they will be confident of turning a one goal deficit around in Lisbon on Sunday if it ends like this.

Looking back at that Jorrel Hato red card, replays showed he did catch Robin Le Normand quite high on the ankle. Definitely the correct call to show a red card.

He'll be unavailable for the return tie.

Meanwhile on the pitch Bart Verbruggen is getting increasinly busy keeping Spain at bay, his latest save denies Nico Williams a second goal of the game.

Italy are pushing for the leveller here but time is running out as we enter the 85th minute.

Denmark are not content to settle for a one goal lead here.

Gustav Isaksen beats Diogo Dalot on the left to make some room in the box but his low drive is easily gathered by Diogo Costa.

France are really pushing now as Dominik Livakovic makes a brilliant save to keep out Kylian Mbappe's effort.

The Dutch are down to ten for the final ten minutes or so as Jorrel Hato is dismissed for a foul on Robin Le Normand.

A brief period of Dutch ascendancy sees Xavi Simons denied by a Robin Le Normand block before Teun Koopmeiners is denied by Unai Simon.

A third goal would really set them up well ahead of the second leg of this tie on Sunday in Valencia.
