- 90'+4'Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+4'Spain are next in Nations League action at home against Switzerland on October 10, while Ukraine host Germany on the same day in Kiev.
- 90'+4'Spain register their first win of their Nations League campaign, hammering Ukraine 4-0 at the Alfredo Di Stefano. Sergio Ramos put his team ahead from the penalty spot before notching a second with a looping header. Ansu Fati then scored a curling strike on his first start, becoming Spain's youngest goalscorer. Ferran Torres wrapped up the scoring in the second half with a neat finish to complete a flawless performance from Luis Enrique's men, who move to the top of Group A4.
- 90'+4'FULL-TIME: SPAIN 4-0 UKRAINE
- 90'+3'SAVE! Yaremchuk has space in the box and turns to strike at goal, but his effort is tame and straight at De Gea.
- 90'+2'Reguilon has to be helped from the pitch after twisting his ankle. There was no malice in the challenge from Kovalenko, and the full-back appears to have got his boot stuck in the ground rather than being clipped by the Ukraine player.
- 90'There will be three minutes of added time.
- 90'OVER! Reguilon sends a dangerous low ball across the face of goal that no one in a red shirt can convert. Pau Torres sticks out a boot at the back post and sends his effort over the bar.
- 90'Kovalenko catches Reguilon in a tussle for the ball and goes into the book. There was nothing much in the challenge, although the full-back falls awkwardly on his ankle.
- 89'Rodriguez sends the free-kick towards the near post where Olmo rises, but his header deflects off Zinchenko and goes behind for a corner.
- 88'Malinovskiy brings down Rodriguez on the right flank and just avoids a second booking from the referee. Spain still have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

The forward finishes with a crisp first-time strike on his right foot, burying his effort past Pyatov from the left inside channel. Thiago's cross is cleared into the path of Torres by Krivtsov. The Manchester City man makes no mistake, hitting the ball with the side of his foot with power into the back of the net.
- 83'Fati twists and turns on the edge of the box for the home side, but he cannot find room for a strike. However, Spain keep the pressure on...

- 63'Kharatin is withdrawn and is replaced by Sydorchuk.
- 63'DISALLOWED GOAL! Moreno has the ball in the net for the home side, but it is ruled out for offside. Reguilon powers a strike at goal from 25 yards, which is parried by Pyatov. Moreno reacts and steers it home, but he was in an offside position from the initial strike.
- 62'SAVE! Olmo surges down the right flank before cutting in to shoot on his left foot. He connects well with his strike and forces Pyatov into a good save. Krivtsov does not help his keeper by playing the ball back to him and forces him to play it behind for a corner.
