- 90'+6'Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+6'Germany are next in action against Switzerland in Basel on Sunday, while Spain are at home to the Ukraine on the same day.
- 90'+6'Germany are denied their first Nations League win at the death by Spain and Jose Gaya. Timo Werner's strike in the 51st minute looked to have secured the three points for Die Mannschaft in their Group A4 opener. However, after stoppage time was extended due to an injury to Matthias Ginter, Gaya converted from close range after latching on to a header from Rodrigo Moreno. The result is probably a fair one as both teams start the competition with a point apiece.
- 90'+6'FULL-TIME: GERMANY 1-1 SPAIN
- 90'+5'Rodrigo Moreno rises to nod Ferran Torres' cross towards goal where he finds Gaya. The full-back is in the right place at the right time to convert.
- 90'+5'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! GAYA EQUALISES AT THE DEATH!!! 1-1! Spain level in the fifth minute of added time as Gaya steers the ball home from close range. Ferran Torres clips a cross into the box from the right and Rodrigo Moreno rises to head it towards goal. It travels into the direction of Gaya, who makes no mistake dispatching his effort past Trapp.
- 90'+4'The ball ricochets around the Germany box before Fati takes control. However, his offload back to Thiago is intercepted.
- 90'+3'Spain pump another cross into the box and although Trapp fails to make the catch at the first attempt, he is able to gather second time around ahead of Ramos.
- 90'+2'DISALLOWED GOAL! Fati nods the ball home for a debut goal, but the referee chalks it off for a foul by Ramos on Ginter from Carvajal's cross into the box.
- 90'+1'Koch replaces Werner for the closing stages of the contest.
- 90'There will be four minutes of added time.
- 89'Ramos angles a deep cross into the box for La Roja, but Trapp judges it perfectly and leaps to make the claim.
- 87'RUDIGER SHOULD MAKE IT TWO! Germany should secure the three points as Rudiger heads over from close range. Kroos whips a cross in from the left flank from a corner where the defender gets the better of Pau Torres. However, he can only send his close-range header over the bar.
- 85'Fati drives at the Germany defence to win a corner on the left flank. Thiago floats a cross into the middle where Ramos can only direct his header wide of the target.
- 84'Trapp has to be alert to smother an opening down the left for Oscar, spreading himself to make a block in the inside channel.
- 82'Gosens nudges the ball towards Werner in the final third, but he just cannot take it in stride and loses an opportunity to advance on goal.
- 80'Oscar replaces Ruiz in the middle of the park for the visitors.
- 79'Fati tries to get the better of Rudiger in the box and goes down in the area. He has a look back at the referee, who does not contemplate awarding a penalty.
- 78'SAVE! De Gea has to be on the spot once again for La Roja. Kroos sends a dangerous cross into the middle for Sule to attack. He directs his header towards goal with power, but the Manchester United man tips it over the bar.
- 77'Kehrer cuts inside down the right flank and draws a foul from Gaya right on the edge of the box. Germany could kill off the game here.
- 74'Serdar comes on to replace Gundogan for Die Mannschaft in their midfield.
- 73'Ruiz threads the needle to release Carvajal in the right inside channel, but the full-back moves too soon and is caught offside.
- 71'Kroos looks for forward options in the final third for the hosts. He cannot find a white shirt and instead goes for goal, but his effort is saved with ease by De Gea.
- 70'WIDE! Better for La Roja as Thiago meanders towards the edge of the box before finding half-a-yard on Gundogan. He curls his strike towards goal, but it bends away and travels wide of the right post.
- 69'Gaya angles a deep cross to the back post from the left flank, but it just evades the outstretched boot of Ferran Torres.
- 68'Spain need to up the ante here to get back into the game. Die Mannschaft are being afforded too many openings at goal.
- 66'SAVE! Can bursts forward down the right flank and he forces a low strike towards the net from a tight angle. De Gea gets down to make the stop to keep the scoreline within reach for La Roja.
- 64'Ruiz bursts past two challenges in the final third and appears to barge Sule off the ball. Trapp makes the block anyway, although the referee signals he would have stopped play for the foul.
- 63'Ginter replaces Sane, which looks as though Low is changing shape. Sane walks off the field without a noticeable limp, but his removal will still cause concern for Bayern.
- 62'Sane calls to the bench to say he needs to be withdrawn. That could be a worrying sign for Hansi Flick and Bayern.
- 60'Draxler tries to thread a pass through to Werner in the final third. He goes for the strike at goal, but the flag is raised as his effort is saved by De Gea. It was a close call by the linesman.
- 58'CLOSE! Ruiz slides an offload into the feet of Rodrigo Moreno with his back to goal. He turns Sule with ease before striking with power on his left foot. The ball heads towards the target, but just drifts over the bar. So close for La Roja.
- 57'Busquets is withdrawn by Enrique and replaced by Merino.
- 55'Spain need to hold firm at the back to avoid falling further behind. There will be chances for La Roja to get back into the game.
- 53'SAVE! Kroos angles a low ball towards the near post from the right flank. It takes a deflection of Pau Torres forcing De Gea into action with a sharp save to prevent a second Germany goal.
- 52'Sane finds acres of room to break behind the Spain defence. He opts not to strike on his right foot and cuts back to shoot on his left. However, the second he takes to do that allows Thiago to race in with a vital challenge to prevent the effort.
- 51'Gosens latches on to a cross-field pass before cutting an offload back to Werner to collect and score.
- 51'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! WERNER PUTS GERMANY AHEAD!!! 1-0!!! The striker holds his composure in the box to drill a low strike past De Gea. Kroos releases Gosens on the left flank, who cuts the ball back towards Werner in the middle. He takes a neat first touch to create space before using his second to send his effort into the bottom-left corner.
- 48'Werner latches on to an offload down the left flank and takes on Ramos. He forces a low ball into the middle, but Thiago is in the right place at the right time to clear the danger.
- 45'Joachim Low and Luis Enrique will both be satisfied with what they have seen from their sides in the first half. It has been a balanced contest and the finishing from both teams has been underwhelming. The first goal could open the floodgates though.
- 46'We're back underway at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
- 46'Ansu Fati makes his Spain debut by replacing Navas at the break.
- 45'The deadlock has yet to be broken at the break in the Nations League Group A4 clash between Germany and Spain in Stuttgart. Both teams have had chances in the first half, but David de Gea was on top form to deny Leroy Sane, while at the other end Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo Moreno both struck efforts straight at Kevin Trapp. Germany and Spain were both lacking a clinical edge in the final third.
- 45'HALF-TIME: GERMANY 0-0 SPAIN
- 45'SAVE! Rodrigo Moreno gets the better of Can and bursts into the left inside channel with only Trapp to beat. He fires a low strike towards goal, but it's straight at the Germany keeper, who produces a stop with his feet.
- 43'Gundogan charges through the middle of the park and offloads towards Sane. The winger tries a flick over the top towards Werner, but Pau Torres and Gaya break up the Germany attack.
- 41'Navas switches from the right flank to the left. He cuts inside to fire an early strike at goal from 25 yards that is deflected over the top by Can.
- 40'Germany waste a free-kick opportunity as Kroos' delivery finds Sule in an offside position. Die Mannschaft are not quite clicking in the final third.
- 38'Sane has acres of room to run into down the right flank. However, he tries an ambitious low cross with the outside of his boot towards Draxler, which is cut out by Ramos.
- 36'Werner collects a loose ball in a good position on the right flank. Pau Torres gets across to close down the angle and the eventual strike from Werner sails well over the bar.
- 35'Thiago squares the ball to Ruiz on the edge of the box, but the midfielder takes a poor first touch. With his second he fouls Can, giving away a free-kick to the home side.
- 33'Both teams have threatened in the final third, but are still looking for that cutting edge to break the deadlock.
- 31'Sane tries to weave his way through red shirts on the edge of the box. Gaya slides in and times his challenge to perfection to halt the winger in his tracks.
- 28'OVER! Ferran Torres races forward down the left and once again cuts inside on his right foot. He lines up a curling strike at goal that sails comfortably over the bar. However, the winger is offering an outlet for La Roja on the flank.
- 26'Thiago sends a dangerous corner towards the near post where Trapp has Pau Torres and Rodrigo Moreno for company, but the keeper does well to punch clear under pressure.
- 25'Spain are hitting back after a spell of pressure from Germany. Enrique will be pleased to see his side taking the initiative.
- 23'CHANCE! Ruiz clips his free-kick into the box where Pau Torres peels off his man at the back post. He nods back to an unmarked Busquets, but the Barcelona man can only drill his effort straight at Trapp.
- 21'Ferran Torres produces a probing run down the left flank and he cuts inside Kehrer before winning a free-kick as he has his ankles clipped by the defender.
- 20'Sane has space on the counter and he surges at the Spain defence. However, he goes for an offload towards Draxler, but overhits his pass towards the byline where the attack peters out.
- 18'STOP! Sane latches on to Kehrer's knockdown on the edge of the Spain box and he launches a powerful left-footed strike towards goal. De Gea watches it all the way and gets a strong hand to the ball to turn it over the bar.
- 16'Germany knock the ball dangerously around the edge of their own box. Ruiz gathers the loose ball and tries to feed Rodrigo Moreno, but Rudiger stands firm with a vital interception.
- 15'SAVE! Sane sends a low pass into the right inside channel for the run of Draxler. The midfielder takes on the strike first time with his right foot, but De Gea blocks his effort with his feet.
- 14'CHANCE! Can commits a huge error with a stray backpass. It allows Rodrigo Moreno to break in behind Sule and bear down on goal. Trapp commits himself out of his area and loses out. However, the Spain forward dwells on his strike and allows Trapp to get back and make a covering challenge.
- 11'SAVE! Germany work the ball across the pitch at speed before Kroos hangs a cross to the right inside channel. Kehrer breaks in behind Gaya and heads towards goal, only to be denied by a sharp save by De Gea.
- 9'Kroos sends a throughball forward for Werner to chase into the Spain box. He controls it with a neat first touch, but the offside flag is raised as his left-footed strike is saved by De Gea.
- 8'Kroos sends a free-kick along the flank towards Gosens. He fires a cross into the middle aiming for Werner, but De Gea is alert to make the claim.
- 6'Ferran Torres wins a free-kick down the left flank on this occasion drawing a foul from Can. It has been a scrappy affair in the early stages.
- 4'Trapp has to be alert to come off his line as Pau Torres floats a ball over the top. The keeper gets there to clear ahead of Ferran Torres.
- 3'Spain knock the ball around the pitch as Ferran Torres chases a ball down the left flank. Can gets there and moves infield before earning a free-kick following a challenge by Rodrigo Moreno.
- 1'We're underway in Stuttgart.
- -Germany and Spain have met 16 times in international football, with Die Mannschaft edging their duels with nine wins compared to La Roja's seven. Eight of the contests have been drawn.
- -Enrique has kept the outline of the same side that started Spain's last outing nearly a year ago. There are a few notable absences such as Jordi Alba, Saul Niguez and Alvaro Morata. Other than that La Roja put forward a formidable line-up. New Leeds forward Rodrigo Moreno leads the line with Navas and Manchester City's Torres flanking him, with the latter winning his first cap. Pau Torres gets the nod to start alongside Ramos in the backline in place of Inigo Martinez, while De Gea returns between the sticks in place of Kepa.
- -Germany are without the majority of their Bayern Munich players this evening after their Champions League triumph. Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry are all missing. Sule and Sane are the exceptions, as the latter starts his first competitive game in over a year after his comeback from injury. Werner leads the line supported by Gundogan, Draxler and Sane in the final third. Trapp gets the call to start between the posts in the absences of Neuer and the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
- -SPAIN SUBS: Diego Llorente, Mikel Merino, Dani Olmo, Gerard Moreno, Eric Garcia, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Rodri, Ansu Fati, Oscar Rodriguez, Sergio Reguilon, Unai Simon.
- -SPAIN (4-3-3): David de Gea; Daniel Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Pablo Torres, Jose Gaya; Fabian Ruiz, Sergio Busquets, Thiago Alcantara; Jesus Navas, Rodrigo Moreno, Ferran Torres.
- -GERMANY SUBS: Matthias Ginter, Jonathan Tah, Florian Neuhaus, Julian Brandt, Gian-Luca Waldschmidt, Bernd Leno, Robin Koch, Kai Havertz, Suat Serdar, Oliver Baumann.
- -GERMANY (3-4-3): Kevin Trapp; Emre Can, Niklas Sule, Antonio Rudiger; Thilo Kehrer, Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gundogan, Robin Gosens; Julian Draxler , Leroy Sane, Timo Werner.
- -Spain were also off the pace in their Nations League debut campaign, failing to reach the Finals. They suffered defeats at the hands of Croatia and England to finish second in the group. Luis Enrique's men were in prime form in their last taste of international football last November, hammering Malta and Romania. La Roja will also be looking to send out a statement ahead of the build up to the Euros next year.
- -Germany were underwhelming in their first attempt in the Nations League, failing to win any of their four matches in the competition. After a lengthy absence from the international field, Joachim Low will be eager to see his side find form and start to build momentum for the delayed European Championships that will now take place next summer. Die Mannschaft have won their last three matches on the bounce, although it will take a stronger effort this time around to beat Spain.
- -Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Nations League Group A4 clash between Germany and Spain at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
