Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace as Portugal crushed Switzerland 4-0 in the UEFA Nations League in Lisbon on Sunday.
Ronaldo netted his two goals in four first-half minutes and had a third ruled offside by the video assistant referee (VAR).
The Manchester United striker had set up William Carvalho for the opener with Joao Cancelo completing the rout to fire Portugal to the top of League A, Group 2, on goal difference from the Czech Republic.
In Prague, Spain was held to a 2-2 draw by the host Czech Republic. Jakub Pesek put the hosts in front before Gavi leveled with a low curling left-footer at the record age of 17 years and 304 days just before halftime.
Jan Kuchta had the Czechs back in control with a delicate chip but Athletic Bilbao defender Inigo Martinez headed home in the final minute to salvage a 2-2 draw.
"It is wonderful to be able to say that we are disappointed to lose points against Spain," said Czech captain Tomas Soucek.
"We showed heart and great teamwork. If somebody told us that we would have four points before these two games, we would have taken it. We have started well and look forward to the next games."
"We lacked fluency so the game was really tough" shrugged Spain coach Luis Enrique.
Martinez conceded it wasn't Spain's "finest" match.
"We came away with a point, but the aim was to win. When you don't win, when you have great difficulties, you come away disappointed."
Spain reached the final of last year's Nations League, beating European champions Italy in the semis before losing to France, and it enjoyed a relatively smooth qualification for the World Cup.
But it is now on the back foot in this competition and after its opening 1-1 stalemate with Portugal on Thursday is placed third in the group, two points adrift.

Also missing were Karim Benzema, Kingsley Coman, N'Golo Kante and Jules Kounde.
"We'll see about tomorrow (Monday)," Deschamps said on Mbappe's prospects of turning out against the team Les Bleus defeated to win the 2018 World Cup in Moscow.
