Renato Sanches News
Spain coach Luis Enrique fielded an experimental starting 11, leaving out captain Sergio Ramos and handing a first international start to 19-year-old central defender Eric Garcia.
The defensive midfielder was a key player when he helped Portugal win the European Championship as an 18-year-old but has struggled to get playing time at Bayern Munich where he moved immediately afterwards from Benfica.
Sanches, who joined Bayern as an 18-year-old in 2016 from Benfica, was largely confined to a minor substitute role in Munich amid strong competition for a starting spot.
Eder came on in the 79th minute and struck the winner with a venomous long-range strike in the 109th minute.
Portugal would never have won their first European title without the heroics of goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Marcus Rashford, Renato Sanches and Leroy Sane are some of the young bloods ready to take the world by storm.
