The Uefa Nations League produced a night for the ages with the quarter-final second legs.
Two of the four ties went to penalties, one to extra time and the other saw a side come from 3-0 down on the night to draw 3-3 yet still face elimination.
So as we round up Sunday’s night’s sporting action, let’s start there.
Pure entertainment
Who had the Nations League quarter-finals as the exciting football event of 2025? Well, to that extremely small minority who did, I doff my cap off to you. What a night.
European champions Spain welcomed the Netherlands, having drawn 2-2 in the first leg, and shared six goals in Valencia. Mikel Oyarzabal twice gave the hosts the lead in normal time, only to be pegged back on each occasion by Memphis Depay and then Ian Maatsen with 11 minutes remaining.
Lamine Yamal then put Spain 3-2 ahead before Xavi Simons equalised with the third penalty of the match.
And so it went to spot kicks, with misses from Noa Lang and Donyell Malen allowing Pedri to seal it 5-4 in sudden death.
France lost 2-0 in Croatia and beat them by the same scoreline at the Stade de France. Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele scored in the second half.
And another tie went to penalties. Croatia have become spot-kick experts at World Cups in recent years, but were on the wrong end here as Les Blues eventually won 5-4.
